Description

Our dataset contains information on reptile occurrences in the Volga River basin, located in the Russian Plain, European Russia. The dataset is based on own research of the staff of the Laboratory of Herpetology and Toxinology and Laboratory of Population Ecology of the Institute of Ecology of the Volga River basin of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Joint Directorate of the Mordovia State Nature Reserve and National Park “Smolny”. The dataset summarises reptile occurrences noted by field studies in various areas of the Volga River basin from 1988 to 2020. The dataset consists of 5,086 occurrence records, all of them are georeferenced. A total of 20 reptile species belonging to 14 genera and 9 families are reported in Volga River basin, although the distribution of reptile species in this region of Russia has not yet been fully studied.
