The use of aggregated maps on the web portal Data Centre “Biodiversity of Ukraine” in spatial distribution analysis of the biota

The information resource Data Centre “Biodiversity of Ukraine” (http://dc.smnh.org) obtained possibility of spatial analysis of the biota using several types of aggregated maps. There are two types of aggregated maps: (1) with restricted search system and (2) with wide search system. Aggregated maps...

description The information resource Data Centre “Biodiversity of Ukraine” (http://dc.smnh.org) obtained possibility of spatial analysis of the biota using several types of aggregated maps. There are two types of aggregated maps: (1) with restricted search system and (2) with wide search system. Aggregated maps with restricted search system allow finding all species, species listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine, species endemic for Ukraine (squares 20×20 km, with species number optionally displayed in each square), provinces (squares 5×5 km) and in selected areas 50×50 km and 10×10 km (squares 1×1 km and 0,5×0,5 km respectively). Aggregated maps with wide search system allow finding species by taxonomic units (Regnum, Phylum, Class, Order, Family), physical geographic regions (temperate Broad-leaf forests zone, Mixed forest zone, Forest-steppe zone, Steppe zone, Ukrainian Carpathians, and Crimean Mountains), conservation categories (IUCN, Bern Convention, Red Data Book of Ukraine, Regional Red Lists and endemic species), or species statuses (invasive species, pollinator species, medicinal plants, nectar source plants). Aggregated maps of Ukraine, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk provinces (oblasts) with all represented in the Data Centre “Biodiversity of Ukraine” species are given as well as aggregated maps of the Ukrainian Carpathians (all species, species listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine, and endemic species). Lists of species included into the Red Data Book of Ukraine and species found in the territory of Medobory Nature Reserve are presented as well as their distribution and aggregation at four levels: 1) national — 20×20 km squares; 2) province — 5×5 km squares; 3) reserve — 1×1 km squares; 4) local — 0.5×0.5 km squares. The information resource Data Centre “Biodiversity of Ukraine” is an appropriate instrument for data processing of natural museum collections, literature and field observations. Using aggregated maps is a quick way to spatial analysis of data sets for the entire area of Ukraine, each province, or any smaller selected area. Treatment of data that cover different taxonomic groups of the biota ensures completeness and representativeness of the results presented in aggregated maps.
