Results of birds' ringing in the Biosphere Reserve "Askania Nova" during 2010-2021

Study Extent

The materials were collected in 2010-2021 within the Biosphere Reserve "Askania-Nova" named after F.E. Falz-Fein, National Academy of Sciences during the performance of scientific research by the employees of the reserve and under cooperation agreements with the Ukrainian Bird Ringing Center of the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the National Scientific Center "Institute of Experimental and Clinical Veterinary Medicine" of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. We express our gratitude to the employees of the reserve who participated in the work of catching birds - Chegorka P.P. and Litvintsova Y.M., - as well as great respect to scientists who are no longer with us - Zubko V.M. and Zinevych M.O. We thank the employees of the Interdepartmental Azov-Black Sea Ornithological Station of the Melitopol State Pedagogical University and the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine - R.M. Chernichno and Andryushchenko Yu.O. for helping to set up a stationary live trap for waterfowl with financial support from Linnéuniversitetet (LNU), Kalmar, Sweden.

Sampling

Catches of birds are listed in chronological order. A total of 2,323 individuals of 23 species were caught and observed in the process of using the technique of catching birds with a cone live trap. The database contains data on the marking of birds, obtained as a result of their capture in live traps of portable and stationary types, followed by ringing and release into natural conditions.

Quality Control

The authors of the dataset are fully responsible for the quality of data provided within the dataset.

Method steps

1. Placing of traps in the areas of birds' aggregation.
2. Species identification.
3. Ringing of birds with special rings with subsequent noting al lthe information (including the ring number) in a special field ringing journal.
4. Georeferencing.
5. Organising of the dataset according to the Darwin Core standards.

Birds from Aves class (orders: Gaviiformes, Podicipediformes, Ciconiiformes, Anseriformes, Falconiiformes, Gruiformes, Charadriiformes and Passeriformes).
