“…For example, lizards inhabiting more humid, dark areas are darker than species in dry open habitats [37]. Also, the light color of Vipera (Pelias) berus (Linnaeus, 1758) has more xerophiles and thermophiles (forest edges, southern slopes) than black snakes (river banks or swamp edges) [22].…”

We used GIS modeling (DIVA-GIS, Maxent) to simulate the potential distribution of Zootoca vivipara. For modeling, we used a database including information from our studies and literature, comprising 190 points of lizard samples (including 7 points for melanistic lizards). It can be concluded that the distribution of Z. vivipara in Ukraine depends on the following environmental variables related to solar radiation and precipitation: "Radiation of wettest quarter" (BIO24; 34.2%), "Precipitation of driest week" (BIO14; 18.1%), "Lowest weekly radiation" (BIO22; 15.7%) and "Mean diurnal temperature range" (BIO2; 12.8%). For habitats where melanistic lizards were found, "Mean moisture index of coldest quarter" (BIO35; 18.9%) was also significant in addition to BIO24 (50.4%) and BIO22 (17.3%).

“…In addition, many studies have been conducted in different regions of the Volga basin over the past 20 years. These studies investigated both the ecological and genetic features of species and post-fire changes in herpetofauna ( Efimov et al 2011 , Roitberg et al 2013 , Litvinov et al 2013 , Eplanova et al 2018 , Bakiev et al 2018 , Bakiev et al 2019 , Lebedinskii et al 2019 ).…”

The Volga basin is one of the most industrially-developed regions of Russia with a high degree of anthropogenic impact on natural ecosystems. Human influence negatively affects the species diversity and number of animals, including reptiles. There are no endemic species in the reptile fauna of the Volga basin. The herpetofauna of the region makes up 25% of the reptile fauna of Russia (Dunaev and Orlova 2017). We began to study the fauna of reptiles and their distribution in the Volga basin in 1988. Although we registered 20 reptile species in the Volga basin to date, apparently this is not a complete list of species in the region (Bakiev et al. 2004, Bakiev et al. 2009a, Bakiev et al. 2015, Kirillov et al. 2020). The distribution of reptiles in this region is not fully understood. Our dataset contains information on reptile occurrences in the Volga River basin. The dataset is based on original research by the staff of the Laboratory of Herpetology and Toxinology and Laboratory of Population Ecology of the Institute of Ecology of the Volga River basin of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Joint Directorate of the Mordovia State Nature Reserve and National Park “Smolny”. A total of 5,086 occurrences of 20 species are published for the first time with georeferencing. Many of these reptiles are listed in regional Red Data Lists. The European Pond Turtle Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758) is included in the IUCN Red List with the category “Near Threatened”.
