Materials were collected during field research on routes in various locations and in monitoring stations (established points). Animals were registered and identified visually, by voice or by signs of vital activity. In some cases, registrations were recorded with the help of photographic equipment. Reliable information collected by other observers is also included in the dataset. The coordinates of the registration sites were determined using the Google Earth program or the Garmin portable GPS navigator in decimal format (WGS 84 system). The nomenclature follows the Catalog of Life.Quality Control
