Distribution of the Common Adder Vipera berus and the Slow Worm Anguis fragils in Silesia, SW Poland

During the years 2004-2008 the distribution of the Common Adder and the Slow Worm were studied in Silesia through questionnaire directed to forest inspectorates (n=871); 83.8% of them responded. These data were tested through field work in several randomly selected inspectorates. Both species were f...

Both species were found to be widespread in the region, with a few strongholds identified in Sudety Mts. and larger forest complexes.
