Climate-driven shifts in overwintering behavior of Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox) in the Sonoran Desert

Published in upcoming, 2025

Here, we examined the seasonal movements of a population of Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox) in the Suizo Mountains of southern Arizona over a decade (2001–2010). Specifically, we investigated the seasonal timing of ingress and egress (the entry and exit from winter shelters) in relation to daily temperature and precipitation.
