Résumé
A preliminary experiment was performed in Les Ecrins National Park during the spring of 1992 in order to determine trauma-free methods of trapping Alpine marmots. Three kinds of traps were tested (jaw traps, l-door ad 2-door boxes). Jaw traps were the most effective traps but also caused much trauma (high rate of wounds, haematoma, death). Consequently jaw traps should not be used for marmot management.
