A large body of literature has examined morphological changes in response to insularity and isolation, which has yielded useful generalizations about how animals can adapt to live in very small geographic areas. However, understanding the evolution of morphological variation in insular populations often requires detailed data sets on longitudinal patterns of growth and development, and such studies typically necessitate long\u2010term mark\u2010recapture on a large sample of individuals. Rattlesnakes provide a unique opportunity to address some of these difficulties because the addition of rattle segments to the rattle string occurs with regular periodicity and their size directly correlates with the body size of the snake at the time of the ecdysis cycle generating the segment. Here, we used a large database of rattle segment sizes recorded from island (Isla Coronado Sur, Baja California, Mexico) and mainland (Camp Pendleton, California, United States) populations of Western Rattlesnakes (<jats:italic>Crotalus oreganus<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C.\u2009o.\u2009caliginis<\/jats:italic>) that separated approximately 10,000\u2009years ago to compare body sizes at different ecdysis cycles, which allowed us to assess differences in growth rates and patterns of sexual size dimorphism. Our results show that rattlesnakes on Isla Coronado Sur appear to be born smaller and grow more slowly than their mainland counterparts, resulting in a \u201cdwarfed\u201d island population. However, despite significant differences in body size, both populations exhibited the same degree of sexual dimorphism. Our study demonstrates the potential to use rattle characteristics to recover detailed estimates of fundamental demographic parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.70005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,10]],"date-time":"2024-07-10T21:48:50Z","timestamp":1720648130000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The tale of the rattle: Using rattle size to understand growth and sexual dimorphism in an insular population of rattlesnakes (<i>Crotalus oreganus caliginis<\/i>)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5550-9058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roman A.","family":"Nava","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology San Diego State University  San Diego California USA"},{"name":"Moffett Federal Airfield  Mountain View California USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5895-1568","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Jes\u00fas","family":"Sigala\u2010Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Biolog\u00eda Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Aguascalientes  Aguascalientes Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nathaniel","family":"Redetzke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology San Diego State University  San Diego California USA"},{"name":"Environmental Security \u2010 Uplands Management Section Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton  Camp Pendleton California USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Villalobos\u2010Juarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Biolog\u00eda Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Aguascalientes  Aguascalientes Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristian","family":"Franco\u2010Servin\u2010de\u2010la\u2010Mora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Biolog\u00eda Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Aguascalientes  Aguascalientes Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0110-435X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ramses","family":"Rosales\u2010Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Biolog\u00eda Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Aguascalientes  Aguascalientes Mexico"},{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Clemson University  Clemson South Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1100-1856","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rulon W.","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology San Diego State University  San Diego California USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"Almeida\u2010Santos S.
