Project Data

The goal of the project is to mobilize occurrences of mammals from Ukraine. These occurrences would be used for development of the new European Mammal Mapping Atlas (EMMA). Comparing to the first edition of the EMMA, the new one will include all of Eastern Europe, and the lack of information from this large region may create an underrepresentation of species occurrences when compare Western and Eastern Europe.

Sampling Methods

Dataset was created on the basis of the results of the annual monitoring of the relative abundance of small mammals, which was carried out by zoologists of the Kharkiv Sanitary and Epidemiological Station in the period from 2000 to 2018. The capture of small mammals was carried out by the method of trap-lines. Gero traps with a standard bait (a crust of bread and sunflower oil) were used for catching. The traps were placed at a distance of 5 m from each other in a line.

Method step description:

1. Capture of small mammals using the trap line method.
2. Handling of captured samples.
3. Making entries in the field diary.
4. Drawing up a spreadsheet.
