Digestive performance in neonatal Southern Pacific Rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus helleri)
Despite significant research on the metabolic characteristics of digestion in adult snakes, the digestive performance of neonatal snakes is poorly characterized. We examined the energetic costs associated with digestion and the energetic profit derived from the first meal eaten by neonatal Southern Pacific Rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus helleri Meek, 1905). Composition of venom of C. o. heller...
متن کاملChemosensory response in stunted prairie rattlesnakes Crotalus viridis viridis
Rattlesnakes use chemical stimuli in ambush site selection and for relocation of envenomated prey through strike-induced chemosensory searching. Shifts in responsiveness to prey chemicals have been documented in many snakes, and often correlate with prey commonly taken as snakes increase in age and size as well as geographical locations of the species. For instance, neonate rattlesnakes that pr...
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 کاملBody Size Evolution in Insular Speckled Rattlesnakes (Viperidae: Crotalus mitchellii)
BACKGROUND Speckled rattlesnakes (Crotalus mitchellii) inhabit multiple islands off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. Two of the 14 known insular populations have been recognized as subspecies based primarily on body size divergence from putative mainland ancestral populations; however, a survey of body size variation from other islands occupied by these snakes has not been previously repor...
متن کاملParacolon type 10 from captive rattlesnakes.
During the spring of 1942 a paracolon type was isolated by the authors from a captive rattlesnake at the San Diego Zoo. This culture (Pc27) was studied by Edwards, Cherry, and Bruner (J. Infectious Diseases, 73, 229) and designated by them as "type 10." The antigenic formula is XVIII Z4 x2 X7. Since that time this type has been found to be the cause of considerable mortality in turkey poults in...
