Fig. 1From: Rattlesnake migrations and the implications of thermal landscapesTypical and atypical habitat associations for the Western Rattlesnake in British Columbia. Open grassland habitats generally occur at elevations of 300 to 800 m in the Bunchgrass and Ponderosa Pine biogeoclimatic zones. Forested habitats generally occur at elevations of 500 to 1200 m in the Interior Douglas-fir biogeoclimatic zone [57]. Hibernacula typically occur at elevations of 500 to 625 m on south-facing, rocky slopes. Photos by lead authorBack to article page
