Description

The database includes records of 161 spider species in 18 families collected at the two monitoring sites located in the Siverskyi Donets river valley in the Chuhuiv Raion of the Kharkiv Oblast of Ukraine. This area is part of the Emerald Network site UA0000316 – Siverskyi Donets River valley in Kharkiv Oblast-1. A sandy area near the village of Kytsivka is distinguished as a priority conservation site Kytsivka Desert.

Sampling Methods

Ten pitfall traps were set in a line in each studied habitat. I used 250 ml plastic caps and arranged them at a distance of 10 m from each other. Sweep netting and hand collecting were carried out once a month on days of setting and checking traps. Both monitoring sites (Kytsivka Desert and Floodplain near Eskhar) were investigated in April – June 2009, the Kytsivka Desert was additionally sampled in May 2012 and September – October 2015. Geographical locations were indicated by GPS-navigator in decimal degrees according to the WGS 84 system. The nomenclature follows the World Spider Catalogue (WSC, 2022).

Study Extent Spiders were collected by hand, by pitfall trapping, and by sweep netting in floodplain habitats (meadows, forests, forest edges and glades) and on the sandy river terrace (man-planted pine forest, sandy steppe on gentile hills, and bare sands with sparse grass or single pines in the valley bottom). This dataset was prepared and published with the help of the Olin gGmbH foundation to preserve data on the biodiversity of Ukraine obtained by the Ukrainian scientists, who were forced to leave their homeland due to the war (Russia's invasion of Ukraine). Olin gGmbH is a funding organization for environmental protection and conservation that supports environmental and sociopolitical organizations.
Quality Control The author is fully responsible for the quality of data provided within the dataset.

Method step description:

  1. Field expeditions to the study sites.
  2. Establishing a line of ten traps at a distance of 10 m at each study plot.
  3. Regular checking of the traps.
  4. Sweep netting conducted in the same habitats, tree samples of 25 double sweeps per plot; hand collecting.
  5. Georeferencing with the help of GPS-navigator.
  6. Species identification in the laboratory.
  7. Organizing of a dataset according to Darwin Core standards.
