An emergent disease reduces survival of mature female eastern diamondback rattlesnakes (Crotalus adamanteus), a key demographic for a slow-lived species

Abstract Survival of mature females disproportionately contributes to population stability via recruitment. Thus, risks of population imperilment increase when females face novel selection pressures that reduce survival. We used radio telemetry to monitor adult female (n = 23) eastern diamondback ra...
