Niche Differentiation and Spatial Segregation of Melanistic and Non‐Melanistic Colour Morphs in a Widespread Palearctic Reptile

This study investigates the spatial distribution and climatic niche differentiation between melanistic and non‐melanistic colour morphs of the common adder (Vipera berus) across the species range. We aim to elucidate the role of environmental factors in shaping the geographic and ecological variation in colour polymorphism within this species.
