Figure 5

Bivariate scatterplot of association between maximum precloacal and caudal segmental counts for rattlesnakes and other New World pitviper species. With few exceptions (long-tailed rattlesnakes, Sistrurus miliarius) rattlesnakes show an apparent dissociation between segmental regions. Data presented are for males only to reduce the influence of sexual dimorphism.
