The minimum area thresholds for supporting single species versus coexistence of two or more species relate to hypotheses of the relative importance of energetic efficiency and competitive interactions within groups, respectively. We used ordinal logistic regression probability functions to estimate minimum area thresholds after evaluating the influence of island area, isolation, and age on rattlesnake and colubrid occupancy patterns across 83 islands. Minimum area thresholds for islands supporting one species were nearly identical for rattlesnakes and colubrids (~1.7\u00a0km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>), suggesting that selective tradeoffs for distinctive life history traits between rattlesnakes and colubrids did not result in any clear advantage of one life history strategy over the other on islands. However, the minimum area threshold for supporting two or more species of rattlesnakes (37.1\u00a0km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) was over five times greater than it was for supporting two or more species of colubrids (6.7\u00a0km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>). The great differences between rattlesnakes and colubrids in minimum area required to support more than one species imply that for islands in the Gulf of California relative extinction risks are higher for coexistence of multiple species of rattlesnakes and that competition within and between species of rattlesnakes is likely much more intense than it is within and between species of colubrids.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.3658","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,12]],"date-time":"2017-12-12T05:12:36Z","timestamp":1513055556000},"page":"928-934","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Minimum area thresholds for rattlesnakes and colubrid snakes on islands in the Gulf of California, Mexico"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3276-8255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jesse M.","family":"Meik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Tarleton State University Stephenville TX USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Makowsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham AL USA"},{"name":"Almac Group Durham Durham NC USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/418744"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00379852"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1643\/0045-8511(2003)003[0081:BSEISE]2.0.CO;2"},{"volume-title":"Model selection and multimodal inference: A practical information\u2010theoretic approach","year":"2002","author":"Burnham K.
