For instance, bolder, more aggressive squirrels may find more food or defend a larger area, but their risky behavior may also make them easily hurt by predators (捕食者) or accidents. Lead author Jaclyn Aliperti conducted the study while earning her PhD in ecology at UC Davis. Scientists have been studying golden-mantled ground squirrels at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado for decades. It was established as a long-term study site more than 30 years ago by Aliperti􀆳s advisor, Dirk Van Vuren.
