note = "Funding Information: This work was supported by a Heritage Fund Grant from the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Dale DeNardo assisted with surgical efforts and IACUC approval. Rob Bowker, Paul Hamilton, Shannon Hoss, Jamie Howard, and Ron and Devon Rutowski assisted with some field observations. Daniel, Elizabeth, Keith and Justin Sullivan provided considerable support; Keith was especially helpful in radio tracking. The Arizona Herpetological Association, most notably Bill Sloan and Russ Johnson, were helpful in coordinating interactions with homeowners. The staff of the Four Seasons Resort (Scottsdale) coordinated captures and releases of Gila Monsters on numerous occasions. Randy Babb, Dan Beck, Mike Demlong, and Roger Repp deserve special thanks for many discussions about Gila Monster natural history. Last, the many residents of northern Phoenix, Scottsdale and Carefree deserve thanks for tolerating researchers as well as Gila Monsters in their neighborhoods.",
