在一个殖民地的甘尼森的草原土拨鼠，松鼠：Cynomys gunnisoni，包含标记的个人已知的遗传关系，反捕食者呼叫进行了调查，以应对移动，填充标本的天然捕食者，美国獾，Taxidea红豆杉。在家庭领域的女性亲属比女性没有附近的亲属，女性与附近的后代特别可能打电话。男性gunnisons通常给反捕食者的电话，以及，但男性呼叫是无关的亲属附近的听众。(C)1996年动物行为研究协会
At a colony of Gunnison's prairie dogs, Sciuridae: Cynomys gunnisoni, containing marked individuals of known genetic relationships, anti-predator calling was investigated in response to moving, stuffed specimens of a natural predator, the American badger, Taxidea taxus. Females with kin in the home territory called more often than females without nearby kin, and females with nearby offspring were especially likely to call. Male gunnisons commonly gave anti-predator calls as well, but male calling was unrelated to kinship of nearby listeners. (C) 1996 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour
