Description
Summary:4 páginas, 2 tablas. The alpine marmot occupies areas ranging in altitude from 1300 to 2800 m. in the Pyrenees, although 67% of the colonies are found between 1800 and 2400 m. Greatest colony density and greater areal use than expected were found between these last limits. Rangers from the Diputación General de Aragón (D.G.A.), Generalitat of Catalunya and Diputación Foral de Navarra collaborated in finding the colonies. Explorations in Aragon were financed by Project R/114: Alpine marmot biology of the D.G.A. Additional funding was provided by project PB870349 of the Interministerial Commission for Science and Investigation. Peer reviewed
