• Venom Composition in Rattlesnakes: Trends and Biological Significance (2008, background): “Some supportive evidence has been provided by diet and venom data for C. o. concolor (Mackessy et al., 2003), which most often consumes relatively small prey, whereas other subspecies of C. oreganus, such as C. o. oreganus and C. o. helleri, may consume very large prey (Klauber, 1956; Mackessy,…”
• Cost of Producing Venom in Three North American Pitviper Species (2006, result): “The moisture content of the venoms examined in this study was similar to values reported by previous studies of other North American pitvipers (Minton, 1953; Kocholaty et al., 1960; Mackessy et al., 2003).”
