Received a call today from my friend Steve Schmidt. He did a search on Thamnophis using Google Scholar and found pages and pages of scientific studies. Many of them in PDF form for easy download and saving.

Thanks Steve for the call and info. Hope some day you'll join our family.

If you want to fine tune your search to a specific species or subspecies that can also be done at Google Scholar.
Or do an advanced search.

wow, cool! but i think that $32 to read/download an article is a bit steep

Dang, many of the articles(Thamnophis radix) I want to read are way to expensive for me.

Yeah, I went through that last year, most of them are quite expensive, and many don't look particularly interesting. I'm sure there are some good nuggets in there though.

come to think of it, i've done this search already, months ago. I didn't share the results here because you cant actually read anything without paying a fortune.

Already have those :D ... working at a University has its advantages .... unlimited access to research material :p

Got a call from Steve Schmidt last night. He saw some of the comments with regards to the cost of the articles and wanted to make this suggestion.
If you have access to or know anyone with access to a college library the studies can usually be printed off at those locations for free or very minimal cost.
Thanks for the idea Steve.

I'll see if Dr. Robert Mason, Professor of zoology, OSU would be willing to help out. He's the guy that first isolated and even sythesized sex attractants of red sided garters. Now he's working on doing the same thing with northwesterns. I'm sure he has many scholarly articles. In fact, there are many out there that he wrote or contributed to. Can't hurt to ask. He's pretty good about answering emails promptly.

When opening the second pdf there is an attempt to install a Trojan Horse. AVG kicked it out.

And maybe someone who has free access to the PDF's can download them and make them available for us :)

AVG isn't worth a damn. Too many missed viruses and too many false positives. are you referring to this one? I find it highly unlikely it's a real threat, given the source, which is OSU. I'll try to get it from Robert Mason since that is where he teaches. EDIT: nevermind. That one is free and ESET smart security found no threats. I have it now.
