Abstract:
Desert rodent assemblages from around the world provide convergent, but independent crucibles for testing theory and deducing general ecological principles. The heteromyid rodents of North America and the gerbils of the Middle East and their predators provide such an example. Both sets of rodents face predation from owls and vipers, but the North American species possess unique traits that may represent macroevolutionary breakthroughs: rattlesnakes have infra-red sensitive sensory pits, and heteromyids have cheek pouches. To test their significance, we brought together two gerbils (Middle East), two heteromyid rodents (a kangaroo rat and a pocket mouse; North America) in a common setting (a vivarium in the Negev Desert), and quantified the “opinions” of the rodents towards the North American sidewinder rattlesnake and the Middle Eastern Saharan horned viper and the foraging behavior of each in the face of these snake predators plus owl predators. Gerbils are fairly evenly matched in their anti-predator abilities, while the heteromyids differ widely, and these seem to match well with and may determine the types of mechanisms of species coexistence that operate in the communities of each continent. Evolutionary history, macroevolutionary traits, and risk management therefore combine to determine the characteristics of the organisms and the organization of their communities.

Abstract:
Documenting variation in organismal traits is essential to understanding the ecology of natural populations. We relied on stomach contents of preserved specimens and literature records to assess ontogenetic, intersexual, temporal, and geographic variations in the feeding ecology of the North American Great Basin Rattlesnake ( Crotalus lutosus Klauber, 1930). Snakes preyed mainly on rodents, occasionally on lizards, and less frequently on birds; squamate eggs and frogs were rarely eaten. There was a positive relationship between predator and prey size. The best predictors of this relationship were prey diameter as a function of snake body length and head size, underscoring the importance of prey diameter for gape-limited predators such as snakes. Crotalus lutosus displayed ontogenetic, sexual, and seasonal variations in diet. Smaller rattlesnakes fed predominantly on lizards, whereas larger individuals mostly fed on mammals. Females fed on lizards more often than males. The proportion of mammals in the diet was highest during the summer, a temporal variation that may be related to behavioral shifts in the diel activity and prey selectivity of C. lutosus, and (or) to differential abundance of rodents between seasons. Great Basin Rattlesnakes also displayed geographic variation in feeding habits, with snakes from the Great Basin Desert eating a higher proportion of lizards than serpents from the more northern Columbia Plateau.

Abstract:
Currently,Crotalus viridiswas divided into two species:Crotalus viridisandCrotalus oreganus. The current classification divides “the old”Crotalus viridisinto two new and independent species:Crotalus viridis(subspecies:viridis and nuntius) andCrotalus oreganus(subspecies:abyssus, lutosus, concolor, oreganus, helleri, cerberus, and caliginis). The analysis of a product from cDNA (E6d), derived from the gland of a specieCrotalus viridis viridis, was found to produce an acid phospholipase A2. In this study we isolated and characterized a PLA2(D49) fromCrotalus oreganus abyssusvenom. Our studies show that the PLA2produced from the cDNA ofCrotalus viridis viridis(named E6d) is exactly the same PLA2primary sequence of amino acids isolated from the venom ofCrotalus oreganus abyssus. Thus, the PLA2from E6d cDNA is actually the same PLA2presented in the venom ofCrotalus oreganus abyssusand does not correspond to the venom fromCrotalus viridis viridis. These facts highlight the importance of performing more studies on subspecies ofCrotalus oreganusandCrotalus viridis, since the old classification may have led to mixed results or mistaken data.

Abstract:
Every year large numbers of rattlesnakes (Crotalus spp. and Sistrurus spp.) are collected from the wild in several states in North America. Some of these are collected purely for commercial reasons while others are collected for the traditional, although now largely commercial, ‘rattlesnake round-ups’. Together these activities may remove 300,000–500,000 snakes each year. The high level of hunting together with capture procedures that destroy habitat as well as snakes are damaging rattlesnake populations, other species, and habitat quality.

Abstract:
Class of 2015 Abstract<br>Objectives: To determine the incidence of late coagulopathy and characterize those requiring antivenom retreatment among rattlesnake envenomation patients managed by the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center (APDIC). Methods: This descriptive, retrospective chart review used data extracted from APDIC charts. Data included coagulopathy lab values recorded during treatment, vials of antivenom required to achieve initial control, total vials during therapy, incidence of initial coagulopathy, use of extended infusion, time until treatment, and permanent sequelae due to snakebite. Demographic information was also recorded. Late coagulopathy is defined as coagulopathy occurring after completion of maintenance dosing, and can be considered recurrent or delayed. Delayed coagulopathy occurs in the absence of an initial coagulopathy, while recurrent coagulopathy requires an initial event previously controlled by antivenom therapy. Results: Of 321 identified reports, 120 patients were treated with antivenom, had outpatient follow-up, and were included in analysis. Sixty-one (50.8%) patients did not have an initial coagulopathy, while 59 (49.2%) had an initial coagulopathy. Late coagulopathy occurred in 63 (52.5%) of patients. Delayed coagulopathies occurred in 19 (31.1%) of patients with no initial coagulopathy; Of those with an initial coagulopathy, recurrent coagulopathies occurred in 44 (74.5%) of patients. Patients with initial coagulopathy were statistically more likely to develop a late coagulopathy than those with no initial coagulopathy (p<0.001). Seventeen patients required retreatment post-discharge. Conclusions: Patients envenomated by rattlesnakes are at high risk for developing late coagulopathies. Close outpatient follow-up is imperative for monitoring of coagulopathies. Need for retreatment with FabAV post-discharge is not uncommon.

Abstract:
Ecosystems transition quickly in the Anthropocene, whereas biodiversity adapts more slowly. Here we simulated a shifting woodland ecosystem on the Colorado Plateau of western North America by using as its proxy over space and time the fundamental niche of the Arizona black rattlesnake (Crotalus cerberus). We found an expansive (= end-of-Pleistocene) range that contracted sharply (= present), but is blocked topographically by Grand Canyon/Colorado River as it shifts predictably northwestward under moderate climate change (= 2080). Vulnerability to contemporary wildfire was quantified from available records, with forested area reduced more than 27% over 13 years. Both 'ecosystem metrics' underscore how climate and wildfire are rapidly converting the Plateau ecosystem into novel habitat. To gauge potential effects on C. cerberus, we derived a series of relevant 'conservation metrics' (i.e. genetic variability, dispersal capacity, effective population size) by sequencing 118 individuals across 846 bp of mitochondrial (mt)DNA-ATPase8/6. We identified five significantly different clades (net sequence divergence = 2.2%) isolated by drainage/topography, with low dispersal (F-ST = 0.82) and small sizes (2N(ef) = 5.2). Our compiled metrics (i.e. small-populations, topographic-isolation, low-dispersal versus conserved-niche, vulnerable-ecosystem, dispersal barriers) underscore the susceptibility of this woodland specialist to a climate and wildfire tandem. We offer adaptive management scenarios that may counterbalance these metrics and avoid the extirpation of this and other highly specialized, relictual woodland clades.
