  • Human dimensions of timber rattlesnake ( Crotalus horridus ) management to reduce human-wildlife conflict

    Abigail R Dunn, Anita T Morzillo et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2024

    Human-wildlife interactions are common across fragmented exurban landscapes. To date, most human dimensions research on human-wildlife conflict has focused on large mammalian carnivores, with less attention to smaller, less-charismatic species. Two isolated populations of state-endangered timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) remain in Connecticut, USA. Our objective was to assess current management, outreach, and collaboration activities assoc…

  • Spatial Analysis of Attitudes Toward Timber Rattlesnakes ( Crotalus Horridus ) Where Encounters Occur Within an Exurban Landscape

    Abigail R Dunn, Anita T Morzillo et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2023References: 6

    Most human-wildlife conflict research has focused on large species, with less attention to smaller, less-charismatic species. Our objective was to evaluate landscape-level spatial relationships among human-timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) encounters, attitudes toward timber rattlesnakes, and exurban residential context. Encounters and attitudes data were collected using a mail survey and encounter reports (n = 583). Residential context vari…

  • Supporting Women Landowners in Wetland Conservation

    Angie Carter, Rebecca A Christoffel et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2023References: 8

    Wetlands are important to soil health and water quality improvements needed to meet conservation goals in the Upper Mississippi River Basin and landowners are essential partners in their conservation. We surveyed Iowa agricultural landowners to (1) identify their experiences and beliefs regarding wetlands as a conservation practice and (2) identify barriers and opportunities to landowners in engaging in wetland conservation. We analyze if respond…

  • A comparison of wildlife value orientations and attitudes toward timber rattlesnakes ( Crotalus horridus )

    Lindsay S Keener-Eck, Anita T Morzillo et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2019

    Human-wildlife interactions can be explained using a cognitive hierarchy model, in which wildlife value orientations (WVO) form the basis for human beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors related to wildlife and wildlife management. In this article, we used data from a mail survey to test the fit of an established WVO framework to a venomous snake species. Study participants were divided into four WVO types (Distanced, Mutualists, Pluralists, Tradition…

  • Resident Attitudes Toward Timber Rattlesnakes ( Crotalus horridus )

    Lindsay S Keener-Eck, Anita T Morzillo et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2019Cited by: 1References: 6

    Timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) are endangered throughout the northeastern United States where multiple factors contribute to population declines. Challenges exist to managing rattlesnake populations because there is little information about human dimensions of this species or other small predators that are venomous or perceived as hazardous. Our objective was to evaluate relationships between resident attitudes and behavioral intentions …
