Sagehen Creek Field Station

06 Aug, 12 PM - 07 Aug, 11 PM

In order to study the evolution of sociality I will be investigating allonursing in communally nesting Yellow-bellied Marmots. I am interested in allonursing in relation to the extreme high elevation conditions compared to lower elevation populations. I am also interested in the skew in allonursing in relation to dominant and subordinate individuals. During this trip I will be conducting a preliminary assessment of the feasibility of this study including population size and accessibility. Future research would include live trapping marmots, individually marking them with numbered ear tags and dye. Females would be marked prior to nursing with novel antigens or other methods and juveniles and mothers would be bled to detect allonursing.
