| Summary: | Viviparous Lizard Zootoca vivipara (Jacquin 1787) Distribution (Figure 7). Included records from Artportalen (N=775): all reports have been included, as there are not any confusion species. Widespread and common in the Southern, Middle, and Northern Boreal. Widespread but scarce in the Subalpine zone. Locally occurring above treeline in the Low-Alpine zone in favorable microclimates. As expected, the highest known occurrences in the Scandic Mountain range are gradually lower towards the north: 1000–1050 m altitude in Härjedalen (Sånfjället and Flatruet), 740 m in Pite lappmark (west of Vuoggatjålme), and 690 m in Lule lappmark (Vastenjaure). There is just one record from a truly far offshore island (Stora Fjäderägg, Västerbotten; Figure 7; Elmberg 1995). Although common in seashore habitats on the mainland along the entire Baltic coast of North Sweden, there are surprisingly few records even from nearshore islands. An exception may be the archipelago in southern Norrbotten, where the species occurs on some ... : Published as part of Elmberg, Johan, 2023, Amphibians and reptiles in North Sweden: distribution, habitat affinities, and abundance (Classes: Amphibia and Reptilia), pp. 301-335 in Zootaxa 5301 (3) on page 316, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5301.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/8030434 ... |
