The ontogeny of kin-recognition mechanisms in Belding's ground squirrels.

Physiology & behavior - 1 May 2017

Mateo Jill M

Abstract excerpt

Despite extensive research on the functions and mechanisms of kin recognition, little is known about developmental changes in the abilities mediating such recognition. Belding's ground squirrels, Urocitellus beldingi, use at least two mechanisms of kin recognition in nepotistic contexts: familiarity and phenotype matching. Because recognition templates develop from early associations with familiar kin (and/or...
