Abstract:Eastern Massasaugas (Sistrurus catenatus) endangered in Ohio and federally threatened. Current approved survey methods involve corrugated tin surveys supplemented by visual encounter surveys. While effective, these traditional methods have low detection rates and require intensive field effort which can complicate environmental reviews of project impacts to the species. The Adapted-Hunt Drift Fence Technique (AHDriFT) presents an opportunity to potentially increase survey efficiency and effectiveness but has not yet been tested for detecting massasaugas.
