Description
This dataset presents a checklist of vertebrate fauna from the territory of the Falz-Fein Biosphere Reserve "Askania Nova" (natural core, zoo, dendrological park, buffer and interaction zones) situated in the Kherson region, Ukraine. The checklist is based on author's observations made during 2016–2022, as well as the observations made by the staff of the Reserve during 2010–2022. The DarwinCore Archive of this resource consists of three tab-separated tables, connected by "taxonID" term: - core: taxonomic information; - vernacular: species' vernacular names in Ukrainian; - distribution: information on species' category in Ukrainian and international Red Lists, as well as the establishment status (native, captive, or both).
Data Records
The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 348 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
Amphibian species composition and distribution were determined through terrestrial surveys and inspections of breeding water bodies. Reptiles were surveyed using transect and plot methods. Bird fauna analyses incorporated previous research materials. Contemporary stationary observations were conducted directly in the enclosures of the Great Chapelsky Pod and adjacent areas, along with periodic surveys of the entire biosphere reserve territory using vehicle-based routes. Mammals were studied using various methods depending on their habitats: - Soricidae and Rodentia: live traps, analysis of prey remains in raptor diets, video and photo recording. - Chiroptera: visual observations in flight, inspection of roosting sites, and ultrasonic signal detection. - Sciuridae, Cervidae, and Carnivora: remote monitoring along fixed routes, inspection of habitats, and analysis of activity traces.
