| dc.description.abstract | This study presents findings based on the observations related to the defensive mutualistic relationship between Oenanthe isabellina (Temminck, 1829) and ground squirrels of the genus Spermophilus Cuvier, 1825. Oenanthe isabellina acted as an alarm bell to avoid predators from its offspring and indirectly from the Spermophilus species. Thus, the ground squirrel gained time to escape from the predator into its hole. On the other hand, the ground squirrel offers a safer underground nest to the bird for its eggs and offspring in return for early warning service. In addition, this symbiotic relationship was sometimes seen to become a competition between the bird-mammal couple, and it even at times turned into a form of mobbing. © Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania, 2022. | |
