Biological diversity of Kaniv (Cherkasy region) and Rzhyshchiv city amalgamated territorieal community (CATC) (Kyiv region).

Study Extent

The dataset consists of findings registered during field surveys on the territory of Rzhyshchiv CATC and Kaniv district (Kayi and Cherkasy regions respectivly).

Sampling

During the field surveys standard methods of route accounting of birds (Hayne, 1947; Ravkin, 1967; Karyakin, 2004), reptiles and other animals were used. Registrations of mammals and insects were made mostly "accidentally" during ornithological and herpetological studies. Counting/detection of owls and some other birds' species was performed using phonograms of territorial sounds of these birds.
