Ecology of the Eastern Massasauga (Sistrurus Catenatus Catenatus) From Carlyle Lake, Clinton County, Illinois
… regimes. I studied populations of Eastern Massasaugas (Sistrurus catenatus catenatus) at its southern range limit from 1999--2003. I found no sexual size dimorphism (SSD) present in either snout-vent length (SVL) or mass but SSD was present for tail length (TL). I observed variation in …

Life and death in a corn desert oasis: reproduction, mortality, genetic diversity, and viability of Illinois' last Eastern Massasauga population
… large numbers of individuals. The Eastern Massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus) is a rattlesnake species native to prairie/grassland and bog habitats from Iowa to New York and Ontario, Canada. The Eastern Massasauga is experiencing range-wide declines primarily caused by anthropogenic habitat …

The Role of Temperature in Habitat Selection by Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes (Sistrurus Catenatus Catenatus) Near Their Northern Range Limit
… of temperature in habitat selection by eastern massasauga rattlesnakes (Sistrurus c. catenatus ) on the Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, near their northern range limit. Snakes were selective at the microhabitat scale, preferentially using locations with closer retreat sites and shrubs than random. …

Genetic Structure of the Copperhead (Viperidae: Agkistrodon Contortrix Mokasen) at its Most Northern Distribution
… such as Timber (<em>Crotalus horridus</em>) and Massasauga rattlesnakes (<em>Sistrurus catenatus</em>). Scant effort has been directed towards the molecular ecology of the Copperhead (<em>Agkistrodon contortrix</em>), other than to evaluate male reproduction in a laboratory setting and …

Flood Survival Strategies of Overwintering Snakes
… of the first flood event on an endangered Massasauga population. Following the flood event, snake observations declined despite hundreds of hours of search-effort. At the population level this was evidence of poor winter survival and recruitment post flood. The direct cause of mortality was …

Assessing species-specific reproductive variation to inform assisted reproductive technologies for Canadian snakes
… strategies: an oviviparous viperid, the eastern massasauga rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus) and oviparous colubrid, the gray ratsnake (Pantherophis spiloides). I collected spermatozoa samples monthly from May to October in 2023 and 2024 from individuals of both species held in captive …
