Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Statistical Study of the Rattlesnakes The publication difficulties which have lately beset all educational and scientific institutions are mani fest. Coincident with reduced publication allowances and increased printing costs there has been a growth in research activity. The manuscripts submitted have far exceeded the printing budgets, necessitating the rejection or indefinite postponement of much worthwhile material. The result has been a loss to science and discouragement to the individual performing the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Natural History of Mexican Rattlesnakes Classic Reprint written by Barry L. Armstrong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Mexican Rattlesnakes Beginning in November, 1966, studies on rattlesnakes (genera Crotalus and Sistrurus) and other pit Vipers were initiated at the Dallas Zoo which included techniques for maintenance and disease treatments, in conjunction with Observations on captive and wild populations. Maintenance techniques and disease treatments have been published in an earlier contribution. The results of our studies on the ecology and natural history of Mexican rattlesnakes are contained in the present account. Since numerous behavioral sequences were difficult to record in the field, many rattlesnakes were maintained in the laboratory. Over one hundred and twenty-five captive individuals, comprising over 50 taxa (including forms indigenous to the United States) were avail able for study. We have attempted to Show the value of a multifaceted ap proach to the study of a body of organisms by beginning with field Observations as a basis for understanding, followed by maintenance in the captive state whereupon specimens can be placed upon death in a systematic museum collection. This arrangement allows an investigator to examine various aspects of an animal's being by recording data which would be virtually impossible to record in the field. Further, this combined approach maximized our abili ties as one Of us is somewhat incompetent in the field and the other is an erratic animal keeper.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on Rattle Size and Demography of Prairie Rattlesnakes (Crotalus Viridis) And Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus Horridus) In Kansas A sample of prairie rattlesnakes was obtained from the Cimarron National Grassland and adjacent private land in Morton County in the southwestern corner of Kansas; 25 snakes were captured, processed alive and released on 26 April and 1 and 2 May 1984; 45 others were collected by Steve Barnum of Straight, Oklahoma, and were similarly processed on 2 May 1984. Rattles, 84 in all, saved as trophies by Gary Norton of Hugoton, Kansas, and Ed Anderson of Elkhart, Kansas, were obtained as the snakes emerged from hibernation in the spring of 1983 and previous years, and were used to supplement the demographic data from the live snakes. Also, 38 preserved specimens of C. Virid'is in the Museum of the High Plains, Fort Hays State University, and 24 in the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History were examined. These museum specimens, shrunken to varying degrees in preservative, were used only for study of rattle strings and of reproduction. The sample of timber rattlesnakes included 93 individuals captured from October 1948 to May 1984 on the University of Kansas Natural History Reservation and adjacent areas, 26 captured near desoto, Johnson County, in May 1983 and 1984, and five from near Clinton Reservoir, Douglas County, in May 1984. Most of these snakes (a total of 100, excluding 24 summer records), were captured in spring (april, May) or fall (late September, October) and hence represented the period between growing seasons and could be grouped in discrete annual cohorts. The youngest group consisted of those born in the preceding late summer and early fall, with no rattles other than the natal button.

This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maintenance of Rattlesnakes in Captivity Beginning in November 1966, a multifaceted approach for the investigation of rattlesnakes (genera Crotalus and Sistrurus) and other pit vipers was initiated at the Dallas Zoo by using a combina tion of field and captive observations. Our observations concerning the ecology and natural history of wild rattlesnakes were utilized as a basis in order to successfully maintain captive Specimens. Further, many of the behavioral components found in rattlesnakes were not readily observable in the field but could be seen in captiv ity. As our studies continued, it became apparent that the continua tion of a captive colony of rattlesnakes, roughly numbering 50 taxa and 125 individuals, required Specialized techniques. To that end, we searched the literature dealing with reptilian husbandry, espe cially concerning rattlesnakes. In addition, we consulted with col leagues who had successfully maintained these Ophidians. Since reproductive and captive propagation was a consideration, we tried to develop a format with that objective in mind. The results of our studies are contained in this account and a companion volume which deals with the ecology and natural history of 45 taxa of Mexican rattlesnakes. This present account is divided into two parts; the first covers successful husbandry techniques, and the second surveys organisms causing pathogenicity, recommenda tions for treatment and appropriate medical procedures. It is obvious that many of these techniques can be applied on a larger scale to the captive maintenance of a considerable number of reptile species besides rattlesnakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Research and Statistics Of course, other influences have been at work. Not all who took the doctor's degree cared to teach in college or university. Not a few have engaged in special research work, and in commercial enterprises. The large number of chemists not connected apparently with educational institutions would seem to point in this direction. It is doubtful, however, if 95 per cent. Of the 899 engaged in higher educational work would be from the sixteen institutions mentioned in Section III., unless a real selective principle were at work.
