$IA Kansas Snake Community$I summarizes findings from a field study of 50 consecutive years on the 18 species of snakes found on the University of Kansas Natural History Reservation and adjoining
sections of land. It is the longest running single-site, ecological research study of vertebrates ever done. The data is based on more than 31,000 capture records. Individual histories were investigated by
mark-and-recapture and by radiotelemetry, and reveal information about seasonal schedules, food, reproduction, growth, survivorship, and responses to weather and climate. |
