Dolichophis caspius (Gmelin, 1789)
Number of records.
171 (18% of the data).
Number of grid cells.
54 (18.3% of the entire grid; Table 1 View Table 1 ; Figs 6 View Figure 6 , 9D View Figure 9 ).
Comments.
This is the most common snake with a high number of observations per grid cell (Table 1 View Table 1 ). This species is known throughout the Mykolaiv Oblast ( Dotsenko and Radchenko 2005; Tarashchuk 2007; Bilyakov and Tarashchyuk 2008; Nekrasova 2013; Sillero et al. 2014; Marushchak et al. 2018; Redinov 2018; Mykytynets et al. 2019; Nekrasova et al. 2019; Voblenko et al. 2019). We found multiple individuals within the Southern Bug eco-corridor in the steppe zone and a single one near the village of Snihurivka. Most records were from Buzk’s Gard National Nature Park (Fig. 10D View Figure 10 ). The known distribution for this species shows a broad occurrence throughout the oblast, albeit with significant gaps, most likely due to lack of sampling. We found this species more often than other snakes in this oblast.
