metadata.value: A variety of vertebrate species display lateralization of visual perception of
  threat. However, the vast majority of studies were carried out in the laboratory
  conditions, and little is known about the relevance of this lateralization for animals
  in their natural environment. The aim of our work was to study lateralized
  visual perception of potential threat in the steppe marmot. The asymmetric
  use of visual fields when reacting to an approaching threat was assessed in two
  wild populations of marmots. The results showed that marmots predominantly
  used the right eye for threat monitoring. A significant impact of anthropogenic
  disturbance was found both within and between the populations. The rightsided
  preference was reduced in animals inhabiting areas with high degree of
  anthropogenic disturbance. The eye (left/right) a focal individual used for threat
  monitoring did not influence its flight initiation distance. Contrary to a previous
  study, our results do not suggest that the use of a particular eye affects the
  speed of threat assessment.
