Kolesnikov V.V., Svininykh A.I. ON THE PROBLEM OF INTRAFAMILY INTERRELATIONS OF MARMOTSIn 2008 in Mongolia 25 marmots were marked with long-term marks. The results of observations of these marmots during summer seasons of 2008 and 2009 suggest that turning out of mature young marmots from a family group takes place due to an aggressive behaviour of dominant individuals of the group. It was also revealed that lower parts of valley slopes of mountain rivers of the Altai are more preferable for marmots than the upper ones.Key words: Mongolian Altai, marmots, long-term marks, observations, family groups.
