Résumé
In the Modena Apennines above the tree line (1600 -1700 metres a.s.l.), the marmot is today found almost every-where. The present population is the result of introduction from 1946 onwards. The spread of this rodent in an environment different to its original alpine habitat offers numerous points of scientific and administrative interest and justifies the eco-ethological study of this population. Since 1988, the daily and seasonal activity rhythms and the social structure of a group of marmots on the northern slopes of the Monte Cimone have been observed.
