When alarmed, the cottonmouth hisses and shows the cotton-white color inside its mouth. That’s enough to scare even the most ferocious predators away. Close-up photographs of cottonmouths in the wild give readers the opportunity to learn all about these deadly creatures—from their lethal venom to their natural hunting abilities.

Menzel and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult male Agkistrodon piscivorus leucostoma were captured and implanted with radio transmitters and Thermochron® i-Buttons as part of a larger radio telemetry study on home range analysis, spatial patterns, habitat use and thermoregulation of cottonmouths in southwestern Missouri. There were significant differences in home range size between males, non-gravid females and gravid females in all home range area estimates, except core use area (50% Kernel home range area estimates), with males having the largest home ranges. A principal components analysis of snake locations revealed that snakes use the habitat in a non-random fashion at landscape, macrohabitat, and microhabitat scales. Snake population segments used habitat in distinctly different ways, to fulfill various key resource requirements. Male snakes were typically found relatively far from water in association with grassland habitats, apparently to exploit high densities of large rodent prey. All females were typically found in association with riparian woodland relatively close to water. However gravid females differed from non-gravid females in their use of habitat edges and gaps within the forest canopy to accommodate thermal needs during gestation. The thermal preference range (Tset) of four male snakes was determined to be 23.5 -- 29.5 °C with a mean temperature of 26.3 °C (± 0.253). The mean body temperature of field-active males was 22.54 °C (± 0.028). Thermal indices indicated that male cottonmouth snakes did not deviate much from thermoconformity.

Download or read book The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles written by Bo Beolens and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Richard Kemp, after whom the Kemp’s ridley sea turtle is named? Is Wake’s Gecko named after Berkeley’s Marvalee Wake? Or perhaps her husband, David? Why do so many snakes and lizards have Werner in their name? This reference book answers these and thousands of other questions about the origins of the vernacular and scientific names of reptiles across the globe. From Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti, the Florida cottonmouth subspecies named for Roger Conant, to Xantusia, the night lizard genera namesake of John Xantus, this dictionary covers everyone after whom an extant or recently extinct reptile has been named. The entries include a brief bio-sketch, a list of the reptiles that bear the individual’s name, the names of reptiles erroneously thought to be associated with the person, and a summary of major—and sometimes obscure or even incidental—contributions made by the person to herpetology and zoology. An introductory chapter explains how to use the book and describes the process of naming taxa. Easy to use and filled with addictive—and highly useful—information about the people whose names will be carried into the future on the backs of the world’s reptiles, The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles is a handy and fun book for professional and amateur herpetologists alike.
Download or read book Phylogeography of the Cottonmouth Agkistrodon Piscivorus Using AFLP and Venom Protein Profiles written by Jason Layne Strickland and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to examine population structure in cottonmouths (Agkistrodon piscivorus) using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) and compare genetic and venom protein profiles in Texas. AFLP profiles using 622 fragments were generated for 105 individuals to understand the level of variation within Agkistrodon. In Texas, there was a significant lack of gene flow detected and support for the isolation of Concho Valley individuals. Cottonmouths showed the greatest genetic variation when compared to other Agkistrodon species but there was not complete support for two species of cottonmouths as currently proposed. RP-HPLC was used to examine venom protein profiles in 86 Texas cottonmouths. Relative peak heights were analyzed using PCA and the MANOVA demonstrated separation of populations based on profiles (p
