Recent studies indicate that Himalayan glaciers have been losing over eight billion tons of ice annually in the last two decades, almost double the rate observed in the preceding 25 years.

As two field biologists interested in the evolution of behavior, we investigated multilevel selection in the wild by studying yellow-bellied marmots. Our newly published study in Proceedings of ...

Yellow-bellied marmots can live in groups ranging in size from 3 to 35 individuals. According to natural selection, animals with useful traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. But can social ...
