Composition and Abundance of Reptile Species in Bukhara Region and Adjacent Territories

Abstract

Global environmental problems that are observed all over the world, in particular, the increased influence of anthropogenic factors on nature affect the distribution and bioecological characteristics of reptiles in biotopes. This leads to a shrinkage of the distribution area of reptiles, a reduction in their number in the territories located in the steppe zone of the Republic. The research analyzes the diversity, abundance, distribution by biotope and seasonal changes in the species composition of reptiles in the Bukhara region and its borders: Navoi, Kashkadarya, Khorezm regions
