Abstract
Tested passive integrated transponders (PIT) as a technique for marking free-ranging Spermophilus townsendii individually and permanently. The authors marked 1179 squirrels with PIT tags. No known mortalities were caused by PIT ragging, and little incidence of infection was observed at the implant site. Rates of PIT-tag loss probably were <0.05 within a year. -from Authors
