Hi, my name is Alexis and I'm an undergrad here at RMBL. This is my first summer here and I am so glad I made the right choice in joining the marmoteer group! My project for this summer is lateralization in marmots. Basically, I will be flushing (FID) them to determine whether they share an eye preference for risk assessment. Besides scaring them into their burrow, I'm helping out in trapping and recording social observations. Looking forward to the rest of the summer! (FYI pups are emerging are we are VERY excited).
Blumstein Lab at UCLA (Team Marmot) reports on adventures and research findings from our long-term study of yellow-bellied marmots at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Colorado, U.S.A.
