Declarations
:
: All applicable international, national, and/or institutional guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed. All procedures performed in this study involving animals were in accordance with the ethical standards of ISPRA (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research, Protocol No. 016970, April 2009) for captures of wild animals. Marmots were trapped using 19 Tomahawk traps located in close proximity to burrow entrances. Traps, opened in the early morning and closed in the evening, were monitored during the day by observers from a distance. Handling of animals lasted for a mean of 30 ± 8 min, and marmots were released in the place of capture as soon as the operations ended. All tagged individuals were observed behaving in the usual way within few hours from capture.
