A test of the multipredator hypothesis: yellow-bellied marmots respond fearfully to the sight of novel and extinct predators

Abstract

Visual predator discrimination for ontogenetically and evolutionarily novel predators may be maintained in yellow-bellied marmots by extant predation risk by the multipredator hypothesis.
