102 | Armenian Viper Conservation

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Jeff Ettling to talk about the
conservation of Armenian Vipers. They start with a discussion of
vipers from the region and how there is relatively high diversity
and endemism in this part of West Asia. They discuss aspects of
Armenian Viper research including spatial ecology, prey
availability, genetics, and the impact of human disturbance. Then
they focus on conservation programs including the protection of
land, captive breeding, and reintroduction. If you are a viper
fanatic you are not going to want to miss this one!
