This dataset consists of records of birds that were made in XIX and XX centuries (in particular cases earlier) and are stored now in a form of paper registration cards and questionnaires in collections of Department of ecology and zoology of ESC "Institute of biology and medicine", Taras Shevchenko national university of Kyiv. Since the records are kept in only a paper form - the data might be lost, especially in terms of war and natural factors. So the dataset is a form of digitalized database, representing the information of observation of certain species of birds n Ukrainian territory in the past few centuries.Sampling Description
Study Extent
This dataset was prepared (the records were digitalized and correctly organized according to Darwin Core standards) and published with the help of the project "Preservation of data on biodiversity of Ukraine during the Russian occupation" funded by "Documenting Ukraine" initiative. The initiative is financed by the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna (https://www.iwm.at/).Sampling
To create the dataset, only reliable records were used (those with clear and understandable description of the place, where the record of bird(s) was made). It means that they contained sufficiently accurate information about the find so that the locations could be identified geographically. We identified the registration places and determined their geographical coordinates using Google Earth Pro and QGis v. 2.18 software. Species identification was made by the observers and is indicated on the card. No additional photo-material was provided.Quality Control
The authors of the dataset are responsible for the quality of data interpreted and highlighted in the dataset.Method steps
- Defining of the approximate locality of the record based on the description in a registration card or questionnaire.
- Georeferencing.
- Creation of dataset according to Darwin Core standards.
