EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Springtime Encounter: European Common Adders in Pre-Copulation Breeding Behaviour at the Ugutka River, Siberia" Amidst the pristine beauty of the Uganskii Nature Reserve in Siberia, Russia, lies the winding Ugutka River, a tributary that flows into the larger Bolshoi Ugan. The onset of spring brings a renewed sense of life to this serene landscape, and with it, the emergence of the European Common Adder (Vipera berus) from its winter slumber. In this image, two European Common Adders, a male and a female, can be seen engaged in pre-copulation behaviour on the riverbank. The male, adorned with a vibrant, contrasting pattern, is poised to mate with the more subtly marked female. This pairing marks the beginning of the adder's breeding season, which takes place between May and July. European Common Adders are one of the most widespread and abundant snake species in Europe and Western Asia. They are a vital component of the region's biodiversity, contributing to the intricate balance of the ecosystem. These reptiles are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs, which hatch after approximately two months. The European Common Adder is a venomous snake, and its bite can be dangerous to humans. However, they are generally shy and avoid confrontation, only biting when provoked or threatened. This elusive creature plays a crucial role in controlling rodent populations and maintaining the health of their habitats. This photograph, taken in June, offers a rare glimpse into the fascinating world of these ancient reptiles and their breeding behaviour. The historical significance of the Uganskii Nature Reserve, with its rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems, further highlights the importance of preserving and protecting these precious natural treasures for future generations.
