Article Title: The foraging ecology of the gray rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta spiloides). III. Searching for different prey types in structurally varied habitats

Summary:
The purpose of this study is to examine the variation of prey on the behavior and success of gray rat snakes in structurally varied habitats. The effect of the complexity of simulated habitats on prey success showed a direct correlation. The behavioral attributes of gray snakes in simulated habitats are shown to demonstrate characteristics of ambush foraging.
.
Abstract
The papers abstract is very informative and gives complete detail on the intent and conclusion of the study.

Introduction
The main point of this study is to show the effects of prey variation and structural complexity on behavior and success of gray rat sake foraging. This study shows how adaptation to habitat changes relates to overall population fitness. Although no hypothesis was given the intent and relevance to......
