Abstract
Twenty-five eastern chipmunks, Tamias striatus, were studied for 3 years in southeast Ohio. The effect of five factors on the sequential patterning of their behavior was examined using information theory and analysis of dyad transitions. Behavior is more stereotyped (1) in adults than young, (2) in males than females, (3) in the breeding season compared to the nonbreeding season, (4) away from than near home sites, and (5) when a conspecific is nearby rather than when no conspecific is in the vicinity. Stereotypy was also affected by interactions of factors 1 through 5. Differential frequency of specific dyad transitions occurred with the five factors. Stereotypy of behavior with respect to social organization is discussed.
