15 صفحه اولPopulation time budget for the yellow-bellied marmot
Time budgets for 17 behaviors were analyzed for cohort, day-period, season-period and interactions among the main effects for three colonies of yellowbellied marmots in the Upper East River Valley in western Colorado. These effects explained up to 79% of the variation in the behaviors. Marmots allocated more time (40-60%, 110-265 min daily) above-ground to sitting/lying than to any other activi...
