Our research focused on the underlying function of the red squirrel rattle call as a form of individual identification for nearby territorial listeners. These calls are produced by squirrels periodically when another is trespassing within the territory or in response to another rattle. We examined whether the call was produced more often within an individuals territory boundary (indicating a territorial function) or if the call reflects self identification for listeners and thus was produced anywhere the squirrel may be (within or outside of the territory). Individual squirrels were trapped and released, at Whitemud Creek, in various locations both within and outside of territory boundaries. Upon release squirrels were monitored for 10 minu...
