Thermal ecology and baseline energetic requirements of a large-bodied ectotherm suggest resilience to climate change. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We used long‐term thermal data collected from four populations of Pacific rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus) to determine and compare thermoregulatory metrics and maintenance energetic requirements of snakes living in climatically distinct habitats (coastal and inland).
