Abstract

The dataset consists of records of fauna made by students and checked by their tutors (in particular caes with the help of iNaturalist resource). The creation of this dataset is a part of students' field practice aimed on teaching them how to collect, organize, preserve and publish data on biodiversity records. All information published within this dataset is aim on enriching the global data on biodiversity of Ukraine in terms of war.

- . 	Georeferencing.
- . 	Organizing of dataset according to Darwin Core standards.
Study extent description: The dataset was created by students as a result of summer practical course in biology and ecology, mentored by their tutors, in 2023. Particular finds, that are included in the dataset, are personal observations from earlier years (e.g. 2007, 2017).
Sampling description: The identification of species was made using available accepted keys and guidelines for students in terms of the Biology program taught in the university.
