The Impact of Roads on the Timber Rattlesnake, (Crotalus horridus), in Eastern Texas
Roads and associated vehicular traffic have the potential to significantly impact vertebrate populations. In eastern Texas we compared the densities of paved and unpaved roads within 2 and 4 km radii of timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) locations and of random points. Road networks were significantly more dense at random points than at snake localities. A similar relationship was detected ...
متن کاملDiet and Foraging Behaviors of Timber Rattlesnakes, Crotalus Horridus, in Eastern Virginia
—During a 17-yr telemetry study, we examined the diet and ambush behavior of a population of Crotalus horridus in southeastern Virginia. Forty dietary items were identified from 37 fecal samples. We documented 722 instances of snakes in an ambush posture, 61% of which were in a vertical-tree posture, as if hunting arboreal prey at the base of a tree. The most common prey items were Eastern Gray...
متن کاملSurvival of Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus): Investigating Individual, Environmental, and Ecological Effects
A major effort in species conservation is the construction of life-history models to better predict, identify, and respond to population changes. Yet demographic studies linking individual, environmental, and ecological factors to survival are rare. We used radio telemetry to monitor 47 adult Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) during five active seasons and four overwinter periods from Apr...
متن کاملCryptic sociality in rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) detected by kinship analysis.
Research on social behaviour has largely concentrated on birds and mammals in visually active, cooperatively breeding groups (although such systems are relatively rare) and focused much less on species that rarely interact other than for mating and parental care. We used microsatellite markers to characterize relatedness among aggregations of timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus), a putativel...
متن کاملPost-Strike Behavior of Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) During Natural Predation Events
Laboratory studies are invaluable in the field of animal behavior because they offer experimenters the ability to conduct manipulations that cannot be easily accomplished in the field. However, laboratory experiments can be limited in their relevance to natural history and evolution. Numerous examples exist of field studies that fail to validate results that are robust in laboratory (Mappes et ...
