Morphometric differences between extant and extinct Italian populations of the adder, Vipera berus (Linnaeus, 1758) ...
Vipera berus (Linnaeus, 1758) is the terrestrial snake showing the widest distribution in the world, occuring from Great Britain, France and Northern Italy to the Sakhalin Island and North Korea (Nilson, 1980; Saint Girons, 1980; Nilson et al., 1994; Nilson & Andrén, 1997a). However, adders do n...
