I was reading a post below regarding sexual dimorphism in rattlesnakes. For those of those interested in sexual dimorphism in Crotalus atrox here is some of the information that is in the literature. Dr. Emily Taylor has been presenting her data at SSAR on this from 2002-2005 as well as other places by invitation if I remember correctly. If you are serious about learning about sexual dimorphism in Crotalus atrox, I suggest you read these.

Taylor, E. N., M. A. Malawy, D. M. Browning, S. V. Lemar, and D. F. DeNardo. 2005. Effects of food supplementation on the physiological ecology of female western diamond-backed rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox). Oecologia 144:206-213.

Taylor, E. N. and D. F. DeNardo. 2005. Sexual size dimorphism and growth plasticity in snakes: an experiment on the Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox). Journal of Experimental Zoology 303A:598-607.

Taylor, E. N. and D. F. DeNardo. 2005. Reproductive Ecology of Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox) in the Sonoran Desert. Copeia 2005:152-158.

Beaupre, S. J. and D. Duvall. 1998. Variation in oxygen consumption of the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox): implications for sexual size dimorphism. Journal of Comparative Physiology B - Biochemical Systemic and Environmental Physiology. 168 (7):497-506.

Beaupre, Steven J., David Duvall and Jack O'Leile. 1998. Ontogenetic variation in growth and sexual size dimorphism in a central Arizona population of the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox). Copeia. 1998 (1):40-47.

Beaupre, Steven J. 1995. Sexual size dimorphism in the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox): integrating natural history, behavior, and physiology. Sonoran Herpetologist. 8 (11):112-121.
