Finds of animals during the spring expedition on the territory of the Right-bank Polissia of Ukraine

Citation

Nekrasova O, Marushchak O (2022). Finds of animals during the spring expedition on the territory of the Right-bank Polissia of Ukraine. Version 1.5. Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group (NGO). Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/n2mb8y accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-10-01.

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.

Sampling Description

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.

Sampling

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.

Quality Control

The author(s) are fully responsible for the accuracy and quality of the data provided within the dataset.

Method steps

  1. 1. Spotting of animals killed on the road.
  2. 2. Registration of acoustic signals from males in different water bodies.
  3. 3. Actual capture of animals with a net.
  4. 4. Visual registration.
  5. 5. Mapping of registration points in offline software for smartphone - MAPS.ME.
  6. 6. Checking of coordinates and georeferencing information using Google Earth Pro.

Additional info

The dataset was created thanks to the support of Biodiversity Protection Fund of Ukraine and Kyiv Zoo.
