"Movement and Habitat Selection of Prairie Rattlesnakes in the Big Creek Drainage of the Frank Church Wilderness"
Herpetology Workshop - April 2006
I started my field work in August 2005 working closely with Dr. Charles R. Peterson, Idaho State University professor of zoology. I will use radio telemetry and mark-recapture to study the movement and habitat selection of these snakes and also how their behaviors are influenced by landscape characteristics, such as mountains and ridges. This study will be one of the first studies of rattlesnake movement and habitation selection in a designated wilderness, as well as one of the first studies of prairie rattlesnakes in Idaho. Data from this study will aid in the future management of this species within the state of Idaho.
