Occupancy dynamics, personality, & behavior of Franklin's Ground Squirrel in agricultural landscapes
… routes home, I tested if individuals based gap-crossing decisions on lengths of alternate movement routes or on individual energetic constraints. I used giving-up densities to determine that P. franklinii perceived a higher risk of predation in crop fields than in grass, but travel speed, …
