Alarm calling in yellow-bellied marmots: I. The meaning of situationally variable alarm calls

Abstract

Yellow-bellied marmots, Marmota flaviventris were reported to produce qualitatively different alarm calls in response to different predators, but there was significant individual variation in call structure, but acoustic parameters that were individually variable were not used to communicate variation in risk.
