Conspecific pilferage but not presence affects Merriam's kangaroo rat cache strategy
2001

We investigated the effects of pilferage on caching behavior in the Merriam's kangaroo rat by manipulating two factors associated with pilferage: the presence of a conspecific, and the opportunity for pilferage. In one experiment we assessed animals in either "Stealer" or "Victim" roles and measured changes in caching, space use, and behavior after caches were pilfered.
