Well you know what, that is a great idea🤣even if we did have something vaguely enticing to use, this is easier said than done. These butterflies are pretty dumb. But yeah great suggestion, maybe you can be my research assistant next time haha!

Evolution can happen by selection for or against a mutation, as in your example. However, when two populations of one species become separated, a change of environment may lead to different selection pressures acting on normal variation withing the species. So, for example, one environment might favour all the slightly darker or larger specimens, and the other environment might favour all the slightly lighter or smaller ones. Mutation is not a necessary part of the process.

Are they sure its not interbreeding between Natrix Natrix & Natrix Tessellata ?
@IanPhillipsWildlife Жыл бұрын
There has been a few studies of N N and N T hybridization but results are sketchy to say the least, in theory it could be possible but is if it has happened extremely rare and most likely to have happened at the far south west of their range, Tessellata aren't found in the UK, all UK Natrix are in fact Natrix helvetica helvetica (Although I wouldn't rule out a possible re re classification at some point). This video isn't 100% correct (an understandable mistake to make at the time due to incorrect reports in the media)

It didn't pass me by. The reptiliary in the New Forest had some N. Helvetica in their enclosure of native reptile species around 2002 when I was there. I was intrigued around the same time that there was a new species of fish! The "zander" and people were catching them in the Thames near where I live. Thumbs up. **Edit, just looked it up and I should have said "relatively new" as apparently the zander was introduced in the 1800s!

@timgluckman86632 жыл бұрын
Your film is spoiled by the way you handle the snake. You claim to be some kind of "expert" but I have never seen genuine experts holding snakes by their tail. In the case of adders such handling could negatively affect their ability to breed; it's conceivable that holding them as you filmed yourself doing would induce a similar negative reaction.
