Climate change-induced shifts in survival and size of the worlds’ northernmost oviparous snake: A 68-year study

Johan Elmberg,
Ludvig Palmheden,
Carl Edelstam
et al.

Abstract: Because of their dependence on ambient temperature ectothermic animals can serve as sentinels of conservation problems related to global warming. Reptiles in temperate areas are especially well suited to study such effects, as their annual and daily activity patterns directly depend on ambient temperature. This study is based on annual data spanning 68 years from a fringe population of Grass Snakes (Natrix natrix), which is the world’s northernmost oviparous (egg-laying) reptile, and known to be constrained by… Show more
