Description
In this study we evaluated the importance of acoustic signals as direct cues. We conducted trials at five Peromyscus polionotus burrows. Each contained bait and emitted a predator call. These included coyote, owl, white-noise, or silence. Our results suggest that Peromyscus polionotus may use auditory cues to assess foraging risk.
