• Grouping increases the ability of the social rodent, Octodon degus, to detect predators when using exposed microhabitats (2002, background): “Degu burrows provide refuge against predators and extreme temperatures; they are energetically costly to build, and are shared by group members (Fulk 1976, Ya ´n ˜ ez 1976, Lagos et al. 1995a, Ebensperger and Bozinovic 2000a ).”
