Alarm-Call Function in Townsend's Chipmunk

Purpose

Study of behavioral ecology of Townsend's chipmunk. Specifically, to determine whether alarm calling by chipmunk could have evolved through kin selection, and if not, what other selective forces might be acting.

Trapping of Deermice (Peromyscus)

Purpose

Trapping of adult male deermice (Peromyscus spp.) to compare hind foot size with a riparian population of Peromyscus. The hypothesis proposed is that the riparian zone population will have larger feet as a swimming adaptation.
