From the Ashes of Wildfires, the Snakes of Canada's North Slither On
- Dr. Karl Larsen and graduate student Johanna Stewart conducted a post-2023 wildfire survey of the northernmost Red Sided Garter snake population in Northwest Territories, Canada.
- The survey began due to concerns the wildfires could have destroyed the snake population inhabiting dens in a largely burnt landscape.
- These snakes are adapted to cold climates, hunt frogs, and return annually to the same dens, navigating by smell despite landscape disturbances.
- Larsen noted that although data collection is ongoing, initial impressions suggest the populations are low in at least two of the three locations they have been monitoring.
- While the population suffered losses, researchers hope the remaining snakes will persist and rebound, indicating some resiliency despite extreme local conditions.
