Description
The dataset presents the findings of animal species (among them 6 species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine) during the spring field trip and batracho-herpetological studies in the Right-bank Polissya. In particular, the dataset contains modern findings of the natterjack toad - an extremely rare amphibian species, for which there were no reliable findings during 2016-2020. Moreover, the dataset highlights a lot of registration points of amphibians in Polissia region, as this group is relatively poorly studied in this territory.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence 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 221 records.
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.

Geographic Coverage
The dataset highlights findings of fauna representatives from Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Rivne and Volyn regions of Ukraine.
| Bounding Coordinates | South West [49.153, 23.544], North East [51.951, 32.135] |

Taxonomic Coverage
The dataset consists of fauna representatives (mainly amphibians and birds).
| Kingdom | Animalia |
|---|---|
| Phylum | Chordata, Arthropoda |
| Class | Mammalia, Aves, Amphibia, Reptilia, Branchiopoda, Actinopterygii |
Sampling Methods
Animals were registered by visual identification; registration of specific acoustic signals emitted by animals during the mating season; spotting anroad kills; actual capture of animals with a net (cell diameter d = 1 cm). Studies of amphibians occurred during the breeding season, when the presence of most species can be confirmed by acoustic signals from males, or by the presence of spawn/tadpoles of species that have already completed spawning.
| Study Extent | The dataset consists of registrations of animals (Amphibians, Mammals, Reptiles, Actinopterygyy, Branchiopoda, Aves) during spring time at day temperatures ranging from +8 - +18 C, when most species demonstrate active phase of mating period: vocalizing, migrating, agregating in spawning places, building nests etc. |
