Abstract:
Eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) are forest specialists common to eastern North America. Numerous studies suggest that chipmunks require fencerow corridors between woodlots to maintain functional connectivity in agricultural landscapes. We tested this hypothesis by conducting a homing experiment to assess whether chipmunks would cross nonforested gaps of different sizes. Chipmunks in 11 landscapes were translocated a constant distance of 220–250 m across gaps ranging in size from 0 (continuous forest) to 240 m (mostly gap). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the probability of an adult chipmunk returning to its home range was not related to the size of the gap that had to be crossed (χ2 = 0.781, n = 60, P = 0.377, ρ2 = 0.011). Chipmunks crossed the entire range of gap sizes and there was no evidence of a threshold in connectivity. These results suggest that forest woodlots may be functionally connected for chipmunks even without fencerow corridors, and that landscape configuration in the study area may not have isolating effects on chipmunk populations. More empirical studies are required to identify whether functional connectivity thresholds are present in mammal populations as theoretical studies suggest.

Abstract:
We examined behaviour in adult eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) from 1992 to 1995 in a landscape altered by forest clear-cutting in central Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Our objective was to compare behaviour patterns in chipmunk populations occupying mature continuous forest versus mature forested corridors (100 m wide) surrounded by clearcuts. Chipmunks spent a significantly greater proportion of their time pausing in the forested-corridor habitat than in the continuous-forest habitat. In addition, chipmunks spent less time locomoting and foraging in the forested-corridor habitat than in the continuous forest. We attributed differences in behaviour patterns between chipmunks in the two forest types primarily to the influence of forest fragmentation on the risk of predation and to the availability of food resources.

Abstract:
We compared the abundance of red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus Erxleben), northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus Shaw), and eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus L.) in three types of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) residual forest 3 to 5 years after logging (upland strips, riparian strips, and forest blocks) in central Quebec, Canada. Controls consisted of mature forest undisturbed by forestry practices. Despite their sporadic occurrence, northern flying squirrels and eastern chipmunks were captured in the three residual forest types as well as in control sites. Red squirrels inhabited all types of residual forest and no differences in densities were found between residual forest treatments and controls. Juvenile recruitment, return rate (survival), and body mass were also similar for red squirrels in all treatments. However, midden abundance was higher in controls and blocks than in strips. In the short term, red squirrel populations maintain themselves in all types of residual black spruce forests after logging. The northern flying squirrel and the eastern chipmunk appear to tolerate the presence of logging disturbances and are present at low density in the different types of residual forests.

Abstract:
A population of eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) was surveyed for allozyme variation over two distinct reproductive seasons each year during 1987 and 1988. Individuals were placed into resident, recruit, and disappearing individual categories for the allozyme analysis. The resident population declined by 43% during the period of the study. Individuals in the recruit and emigrant categories accounted for about 50% of the population each season and the number in each of these categories varied widely from season to season. No inbreeding, based on genotype frequencies, was observed within the resident population. No significant genic heterogeneity was observed among temporally separated populations of chipmunks in the resident, recruit, or disappearing individual categories. The high levels of additions and losses from the population and the complex age-structure of chipmunk populations were likely the major contributors to the lack of inbreeding and seasonal differentiation. These results are contrasted with the more widely studied microtine systems.

Abstract:
When food patches vary in quality over time, sampling by repeated visits can allow animals to track this variation and improve their foraging success. Sampling, however, requires spending time visiting patches that are currently poor. The optimal investment in sampling should depend on characteristics of the patch, the animal, and the environment, but there are few empirical studies of these relationships in nature. Here, we describe discovery, exploitation, and sampling of randomly varying artificial food patches by free-ranging eastern chipmunks ( Tamias striatus (L., 1758)). Chipmunks effectively tracked variation over a broad time scale, discovering patches within a few days, sampling and exploiting over several weeks, and decreasing sampling when renewals ceased. Sampling allowed the chipmunks to track variation on an hourly scale through rapid discovery of renewals. Sampling rates were high (median = 0.3 visits·individual–1·h–1; range = 0–4.2). Sampling was not affected by the frequency or magnitude of patch renewal but was lower for chipmunks whose burrows were farther from the patch. Sampling is an important part of chipmunk foraging strategy, but the difficulty of estimating patch quality and renewal rate and the effects of competition may prevent a close matching between sampling rate and patch characteristics under natural conditions.

Abstract:
Forest disturbance effects on La Crosse virus (LACV) are currently unknown. We determined the abundance of three LACV accessory vectors (Aedes albopictus, Ae. canadensis, and Ae. vexans) and the primary amplifying host (Eastern chipmunk; Tamias striatus), and tested for LACV prevalence in both vectors and chipmunks, across a gradient of experimental forest disturbance treatments in southwest Virginia. Forest disturbance significantly affected the abundance of LACV accessory vectors, with a higher abundance on disturbed sites for Ae. canadensis and Ae. vexans. However, there was no significant disturbance effect on chipmunk abundance. Forest disturbance significantly affected LACV prevalence in mosquito vectors, with most (80%) detections on unlogged control sites, which past work showed harbor the highest abundance of the two most common LACV vectors (the primary vector Aedes triseriatus, and Ae. japonicus). Interestingly, LACV nucleic acid was only detected in Ae. japonicus and Culex pipiens/restuans, with no detections in the primary vector, Ae. triseriatus. In contrast to the vector results, antibodies were only found in chipmunks on logged sites, but this result was not statistically significant. Overall, our results suggest that human LACV risk should generally decline with logging, and reveal the potential importance of accessory vectors in LACV maintenance in Appalachian forests.

Abstract:
Predation is a leading cause of nest failure in birds, which has significant consequences on their population dynamics. Rodents commonly prey on nests in deciduous forest habitats. This has important implications considering how rodent populations fluctuate with changes in resource availability, such as synchronized but intermittent tree-seed production (mast). In this study, we investigated ground-nest egg predation by rodents over 2 years characterized by high and low beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) seed availability (mast vs. no-mast years). We used artificial nests monitored by motion-sensing cameras on a study site where eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus (Linnaeus, 1758)) local abundance was known. We placed the artificial nests in areas of high and low chipmunk abundance as proxy of predation risk. Blue Jays (Cyanocitta cristata (Linnaeus, 1758)) depredated the most eggs overall, but rodent population and egg depredation increased in 2018 following the 2017 mast. However, chipmunks were minor predators and their local abundance did not reflect predation risk. Our results highlight the complexity of predation dynamics on ground-nesting birds and the importance of studying them locally and over multiple years.

Abstract:
Faecal matter collected from the American Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) and the Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) on the campus of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, was examined for the presence of consumed fungal tissue. A total of 14 faecal samples were collected from live-trapped animals over six trapping periods (19 June to 25 September 2010). Eight samples contained intact remains of spores representative of hypogeous truffle fungi found in the genera Elaphomyces, Gautieria, Hymenogaster, Hysterangium, and Leucangium, as well as spores of epigeous mushrooms found in the orders Boletales and Pezizales and possibly in the family Tricholomataceae of the Agaricales. The results of this brief survey suggest not only the importance of mycophagy in the diet of American Red Squirrels and Eastern Chipmunks in the boreal mixed wood forests of northwestern Ontario but also the important role played by sciurids in vectoring spores of truffle fungi in this region.

Abstract:
The structure and context of alarm calls produced by chipmunks (Tamias striatus) at a field site in southern Quebec were recorded during opportunistic field observations and experimentally simulated hawk attacks. Chipmunks produced three call types in the presence of predators. Chipping consisted of a series of high frequency notes with a rapid downward frequency slope (9.6 to 2.8 kHz) and was given in the presence of mammalian predators by chipmunks perched on a raised vantage point. Chucking consisted of a series of lower frequency notes also sloping downwards (2.5 to 0.4 kHz), given in the presence of avian predators by perched animals. The trill was a lower amplitude, multi-note call usually given only once by animals before reaching a refuge while fleeing from either type of predator. The average trill contained 6–11 downward sloping notes (7.3 to 0.8 kHz). The alarm call types of eastern chipmunks appear to be similar to those reported for western chipmunks. However, they differ in the clear separation of the calls for aerial and terrestrial predators. Chipmunks differ from most other terrestrial sciurids in giving repeated calls for aerial as well as terrestrial predators and in using a call just before reaching a secure refuge.

Density changes of small mammals responding to different conifer release treatments (motor-manual [brush saw] cutting; mechanical [Silvana Selective] cutting; helicopter-applied herbicides [Release® (a.i. triclopyr), Vision® (a.i. glyphosate)]; controls [no treatment] were quantified. A total of 4,851 small mammals were captured and released during the three-year study. The most commonly captured (81% of total) species were: shrews (masked [Sorex cinereus Kerr], pygmy [S. hoyi Baird], arctic S. arcticus Kerr]), southern red-backed voles (Clethrionomys gapperi Vigors), and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus Wagner). Northern short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda Say), eastern (Tamias striants L.) and least (T. minimus Bachman) chipmunks, meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus Ord), ermine (Mustela erminea L.), and meadow jumping mice (Zapus hudsonius Zimm.) were common. Shrew (masked, pygmy, arctic, short-tailed) densities were statistically unaffected by these treatments. Red-backed vole densities were highest on control plots during the first post-treatment growing season, and highest on control and Vision® plots during the second post-treatment growing season. During the first two growing seasons after treatment, deer mouse densities were highest on Silvana Selective plots; eastern chipmunk densities were highest on control, Vision® and Silvana Selective plots; least chipmunk densities were highest on Vision® and Release® plots; and meadow vole densities were highest on Release® plots. Small mammal responses to the alternative conifer release treatments examined were species specific one and two-growing seasons post-treatment, but similar to responses common to the standard (Vision® herbicide) conifer release treatment.

Abstract:
This thesis evaluates, in free-ranging eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus), burrow site selection, the effect of burrow microhabitat on individual behaviour and winter torpor expression, as well as resource and climate determinants of fine-scale variation in winter torpor expression and energetics. This was accomplished by characterizing burrow microhabitat, performing behavioural observations, and monitoring winter torpor expression. Among several burrow microhabitat variables related to food availability, predation risk, and hibernacula microclimate, availability of woody debris was the best predictor of burrow site use. Anti-predator benefits associated with availability and use of woody debris are potentially more important than those associated with burrow microhabitat features that are either too spatially invariant (soil temperatures) or too spatially and temporally variant (food sources). Abundance of tree-seeds drastically reduced winter torpor, increasing considerably winter energy consumption, and local density of seed-producing trees was responsible for fine-scale spatial variation in torpor expression. The potential range in winter torpor expression and energy consumption was constrained by microclimate, whereas observed patterns of winter torpor and energy consumption were highly variable and determined primarily by local food abundance.

Abstract:
Small endotherms typically have elevated and relatively invariant rates of metabolism, but adaptations such as food hoarding and hibernation endow some species with considerable energetic flexibility in responding to resource fluctuations. I examined the interactions between resource availability, food hoarding, and hibernation in a population of eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) subjected to seasonal and multi-annual periods of resource shortage. Incompatibility of torpor and digestion could be an important constraint associated with relying on stored food rather than body fat during hibernation, but documentation of torpor patterns and digestive efficiency of captive chipmunks revealed that digestion is actually enhanced by torpor expression. Measures of energy expenditure and food delivery by free-ranging chipmunks in autumn revealed that food hoarding also permitted rapid accumulation of large energy reserves before thermoregulatory constraints necessitated termination of above-ground activity. Thus, a combination of food hoarding and hibernation permits rapid energy accumulation when resources are abundant and effective energy conservation when resources are scarce. Despite this, chipmunks responded to experimental increases of autumn hoard size by substantially reducing winter torpor expression, suggesting that much of the resource accumulation permitted by larder hoarding is allocated to maintaining elevated rates of metabolism in the winter hibernaculum. This pattern of allocation suggests torpor expression is associated with important costs and contradicts a major paradigm of hibernation research by demonstrating that low levels of torpor expression can reflect an absence of energetic necessity rather than a lack of physiological capability. In an ecological context, the capacity of chipmunks to vary expenditure according to resource abundance represents a potent decoupling mechanism in consumer-resource interactions.

Abstract:
In a variable environment, the ability to track food resources that vary in time and space may increase the foraging efficiency of individuals. Tracking can be accomplished by repeatedly visiting patches, but this sampling will be economical only if its benefits outweigh its costs. I examined the effects of patch characteristics and social factors on sampling using simulation models and both large- and small-scale field experiments on eastern chipmunks ( Tamias striatus). In the first experiment, chipmunks discovered large renewing patches within a few days, sampled them frequently enough to detect most renewals, and then decreased their sampling effort after renewal ceased, showing that they can track patches over both long and short time scales. Sampling rate was higher for animals that lived near the patch, for animals that were more aggressive while in the patch, and when the number of other animals that sampled was high, but was unaffected by the quantity and frequency of renewal. I developed a model, which predicts that the optimal sampling frequency should increase with the frequency and duration of renewal and with the rate of gain in the patch, and decrease with the duration of each sampling trip. An extension of this model predicts that conspecifics will affect even non-group foragers, by competing for food and providing social information. A second field experiment showed that chipmunks decreased their sampling in response to higher competition. Although chipmunks used social information to discover a patch, there was no indication that social information caused a decrease in sampling. In conclusion, sampling to keep track of varying patches is an important component of the foraging behaviour of chipmunks. Optimal sampling behaviour is affected by patch characteristics and sampling rate will depend on (i) the ease with which animals can estimate these characteristics, (ii) the level of competition, which can alter the patch valu

Abstract:
Little theoretical or empirical research has examined how an animal that has found and exploited a new patch should determine whether and when it will renew. A rapid series of visits to the patch should provide information concerning the probability of a quick renewal. If a renewal is not encountered, however, a subsequent decrease in the rate of visits should allow monitoring of the patch at minimal cost. After a long period without renewal, a patch should not be visited at all. By analogy with area-concentrated search, I propose the term 'time-concentrated sampling' (TCS) for this pattern of visits and suggest that it should be widespread for species foraging on patchy prey in environments where the probability of renewal and latency to renewal of patches are variable between patches. In this study, I tested whether eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) presented with a small number of peanuts followed by a small patch of sunflower seeds exhibit TCS following their depletion of these and, if so, whether their patterns of visits are influenced by potential indicators of patch value.

Abstract:
Chipmunk antipredator calls were examined during the summers of 1990 and 1991. The structural characteristics of the three calls, chipping, chucking and the trill, were obtained through taped recordings and sonagraphic analysis. Behavioural observations indicated that chucking by choruses of individuals occurs in the presence of aerial predators, chipping by choruses of individuals occurs in the presence of terrestrial predators and the trill is given by single individuals when fleeing from predators.
Experiments were carried out to determine the function of the trill and chipping. Demographic and contextual effects indicate that the trill is in part a call which functions to warn kin but may also indicate to conspecifics that the caller has escaped into a refuge. An experiment with a tethered cat concluded that chipping is likely to function to deter predators from hunting in the area. This is done through vocal mobbing by several individuals whose home ranges overlap.

Abstract:
The behaviours of eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) in response to aerial predators were studied in the field using trained kestrels (Falco sparverius) flying over a food patch where animals of known gender, age and burrow location categories were foraging. Their typical response was to flee toward a nearby refuge while producing a trill. After a few seconds, chipmunks usually emerged and started to produce long (but sometimes interrupted) series of chucks while facing the predator. Acoustical analysis showed that the trill consisted of a rapid series of usually high pitched and variable notes while most chucks consisted of two partially overlapping components differing mainly in frequency range. No differences were observed between individuals of different categories for most antipredator responses. Various observations suggest that the trill functions to startle the predator and that the chuck deters the predator from hunting in the area.

Abstract:
Thermosensitive radio telemetry has the potential to document rest, and hence activity, in mammals that have a curled-up resting posture, but this promising technique has never before been applied to detailed studies of burrow-dwelling animals. I developed a method to use data from thermosensitive radio transmitters to estimate diel and seasonal patterns of activity and used it to examine activity levels of eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) in the field during the summer and fall of two years with different levels of natural food availability. Bouts of higher and lower transmitter temperatures, interpreted as rest and activity, respectively, were confirmed by focal observations. Chipmunks were strongly diurnal even within their burrows. Chipmunks were less active in the year with low food availability (no mast), than the year with high food availability (mast), especially in late summer and fall. Torpor began in August in the non-mast year but in October in the mast year. The midsummer lull in above-ground activity coincided with a greater amount of time spent resting, but torpor was not detected. The time of day of peak activity changed between seasons. Inter-individual variation was high. Season, sex, torpor expression, local density of seed-producing trees and use of an experimental supplemental food source were related to this individual variation in activity within years. Temperature telemetry has great potential to provide more precise data with greater temporal scale and sample size for many species that are commonly used to derive and illustrate ecological patterns.
La télémétrie thermosensible a le potentiel de documenter le patron d'activité chez les mammifères qui adoptent une position recroquevillée au repos. Cependant, cette méthode n'a jamais été appliquée à l'étude des animaux fossoriels. J'ai développé une méthode utilisant les données provenant des colliers thermosensibles afin d'estimer les patrons d'activité journaliers et saisonniers des tamias rayés (Tamias striatus) en milieu naturel pendant l'été et l'automne au cours de deux années lors desquelles l'abondance de nourriture diffère. Les variations de température mesurées par les colliers, interprétées comme les différentes périodes d'activité (températures froides) et de repos (températures chaudes), ont été validées par des observations focales. Mes résultats démontrent que les tamias rayés sont diurnes, même lorsqu'ils sont à l'intérieur de leur terrier. De plus, les tamias rayés étaient moins actifs au cours de l'année caractérisée par une faible abondance de nourriture (l'absence de production massive de graines), qu'en une année très productive (présence de production massive de graines), particulièrement à la fin de l'été et en l'automne. La période de torpeur a débuté en août durant l'année caractérisée par l'absence de production massive de graines et en octobre durant l'année productive. La baisse d'activité enregistrée au-dessus du sol au milieu de l'été s'est traduite par une période de repos. Cependant, au cours de cette période, les individus n'ont pas montré de torpeur. Le pic quotidien d'activité a varié au cours des saisons. J'ai par ailleurs détecté une variation interindividuelle est très importante, dont une partie peut être reliée à la saison, au sexe, à l'expression de torpeur, à la densité locale de graines, ainsi qu'à l'utilisation d'une source de nourriture expérimentale supplémentaire.
