Description
The dataset includes finds of birds (Aves), mammals (Mammalia), insects (Insecta), amphibians (Amphibia) and reptiles (Reptilia) within the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (Ukraine), Kherson and Zaporizhzhia administrative regions of Ukraine. The registrations took place during field research of the author and were harmless to the animals.
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 1,069 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.

Sampling Methods
Studies of the species composition and number of birds, mammals, insects, amphibians and reptiles were conducted by route method on routes (from 100 m to 20 km) and in the survey of registered areas (from 1 are to 15,000 ha). The species identification was made by visual and audial registrations as well as due to presence of dead individuals or their remnants. Coordinates were defined with the use of mobile and remoute GPS-devices.
| Study Extent | The dataset consists of 1069 registration points of 232 species of ukrainian fauna. The surveys covered: - the valley of the Kacha river and the western spurs of the Crimean mountains adjacent to the valley of the Kacha river; - adjacent areas of Evpatoria (including Lake Mainak), Evpatoria; - the southern coast of Crimea from Ilyas-Kaya mountain to Yalta and near the villages of Morske and Arpat (Zelenogir'ya); - eastern and northeastern parts of Kerch Peninsula; - Ai-Petri yayla; - Crimean mountains between the villages of Morske, Arpat (Zelenogir'ya) and Bilogorsk, near the Taigan reservoir; - Ilyas-Kaya mountain ridge; - the northern part of the steppe Crimea and the southern and south-western Prisyvashshya, the southern part of the Arabatskaya Strilka spit; - the north-western outskirts of the Kerch Peninsula; - the territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine adjacent to the Sea of Azov and the vicinity of the Askania Nova reserve. 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. |
