Multiple-note chatter vocalizations, recorded in the field, occurred in response to mammals, snakes, raptors, and during agonistic chases. Discriminant function analyses of sonagram-derived data revealed that: (1) Chatters evoked by terrestrial preda

California ground squirrel single-note vocalizations were recorded in the field, then analyzed spectrographically. These calls were elicited by low-flying raptors and by larger mammals; they were also emitted by the participants of agonistic chases.

Visual antipredator vigilance was predicted to increase in the presence of visual obstructions that do not otherwise provide cover. This hypothesis was tested using 13-lined ground squirrels as they fed in four Plexiglas boxes that varied in the exte

In the field, we videotaped the reactions of squirrels to playbacks of 1, 3 and 5 whistle vocalizations at two sound intensities differing by 10 dB. The squirrels reacted by running to boulders or burrows and freezing. As time progressed following pl

Birds with songs having two or more acoustically distinct elements can arrange them either rigidly (i.e., in the same sequence) or flexibly. Flexible song syntax can be achieved either by varying the number of repetitions of elements or by combining

Previous studies have found a relationship between migration and the degree of elaboration of sexually selected traits, but investigators have differed in the mechanisms they proposed to account for this association. We examined the relationship betw

Despite the success of antipredator vigilance research, the specific focus of this vigilance has been difficult to determine. We have previously shown that thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus) increase their vigilance when

Antipredator vigilance behaviour is affected by a number of variables, but studies reporting experimental manipulation of visual obstructions are generally lacking in the literature. We examined the individual antipredator behaviour of free-ranging t
