Disentangling Temporal and Environmental Effects on Hematological Values in Prairie Rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hematologic assessment is a common clinical tool used to characterize both individual and population health. In ectothermic organisms, the hematologic response is influenced by external factors such as temperature and season, especially in temperate species. Yet, specific environmental effects have received little direct attention.

Fall and Spring Staging in a Refugia-Dependent Migratory Snake. [PDF]
Animals reliant on seasonal refugia face strong fitness constraints imposed by the timing of migration relative to thermally unpredictable seasonal transitions. Using Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus), we show that prolonged fall and spring staging periods characterized by restricted movements near refugia and distinct thermal thresholds function
