Abstract
We investigated the feeding and aggressive behavior of Eastern Chipmunks (Tamias striatus) to determine if they were willing to risk aggression far from the burrow for the benefit of food. Our hypothesis was that chipmunk aggression will decrease when food is moved further from the burrow. We predicted that levels of aggression and time spent feeding would decrease as distance from the chipmunk's burrow increased.Subjects
