Checklist of vertebrates of Falz-Fein Biosphere Reserve "Askania Nova" (Kherson region, Ukraine)

Citation

Starovoitova T (2024). Checklist of vertebrates of Falz-Fein Biosphere Reserve "Askania Nova" (Kherson region, Ukraine). Version 1.1. Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group (NGO). Checklist dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/dvut45 accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-01-14.

Description

This dataset presents a checklist of vertebrate fauna from the territory of the Falz-Fein Biosphere Reserve "Askania Nova" (natural core, zoo, dendrological park, buffer and interaction zones) situated in the Kherson region, Ukraine. The checklist is based on author's observations made during 2016–2022, as well as the observations made by the staff of the Reserve during 2010–2022. The DarwinCore Archive of this resource consists of three tab-separated tables, connected by "taxonID" term: - core: taxonomic information; - vernacular: species' vernacular names in Ukrainian; - distribution: information on species' category in Ukrainian and international Red Lists, as well as the establishment status (native, captive, or both).

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Falz-Fein Biosphere Reserve "Askania Nova", Kherson region, Ukraine

Sampling

Amphibian species composition and distribution were determined through terrestrial surveys and inspections of breeding water bodies. Reptiles were surveyed using transect and plot methods. Bird fauna analyses incorporated previous research materials. Contemporary stationary observations were conducted directly in the enclosures of the Great Chapelsky Pod and adjacent areas, along with periodic surveys of the entire biosphere reserve territory using vehicle-based routes. Mammals were studied using various methods depending on their habitats: - Soricidae and Rodentia: live traps, analysis of prey remains in raptor diets, video and photo recording. - Chiroptera: visual observations in flight, inspection of roosting sites, and ultrasonic signal detection. - Sciuridae, Cervidae, and Carnivora: remote monitoring along fixed routes, inspection of habitats, and analysis of activity traces.

Method steps

  1. Reconnaissance surveys of the territory.
  2. Route-based and point-based studies of different sections (areas) of the "Askania Nova" Biosphere Reserve.
  3. Data collection and critical processing.
  4. Summarising results of vertebrate fauna inventory, taxonomic analysis, and creating a checklist of vertebrate fauna.
