Knowledge about the distribution of living organisms on Earth is very important for many areas of biological science and understanding of the surrounding world. However, much of the existing distributional data are scattered throughout a multitude of sources, such as taxonomic publications, checklists and natural history collections and often, bringing them together is difficult. A very successful attempt to solve this problem is the GBIF project, which allows a huge number of researchers to publish data in one place in a single standard. Our dataset represents a significant addition to the occurrences of amphibians in the Volga, Don riverine basins and adjacent territories.The dataset contains up-to-date information on amphibian occurrences in the Volga river basin and adjacent territories, located for the most part on the Russian plain of European Russia. The dataset is based on our own studies that were conducted in the years 1996-2020. The dataset consists of 5,030 incident records, all linked to geographical coordinates. A total of 13 amphibian species belonging to nine genera and six families have been registered within the studied territory, although the distribution of amphibian species in this region of Russia has not yet been fully studied. This is especially relevant with the spread of cryptic species that can only be identified using molecular genetic research methods.The main purpose of publishing a database is to make our data available in the global biodiversity system to a wide range of users. The data can be used by researchers, as well as helping the authorities to manage their territory more efficiently.
All occurrences are published in GBIF for the first time. Most of the data are stored in field diaries and we would like to make it available to everyone by adding it in the global biodiversity database (GBIF).
了解地球上生物的分布情况对于生物科学的许多领域以及认识周围世界都非常重要。然而，现有的许多分布数据分散在众多来源中，如分类学出版物、名录和自然历史收藏，而且常常难以将它们整合在一起。解决这个问题的一次非常成功的尝试是全球生物多样性信息机构（GBIF）项目，该项目允许大量研究人员以单一标准在一个地方发布数据。我们的数据集是对伏尔加河、顿河流域及邻近地区两栖动物出现情况的重要补充。该数据集包含伏尔加河流域及邻近地区两栖动物出现情况的最新信息，这些地区大部分位于俄罗斯欧洲部分的俄罗斯平原上。该数据集基于我们在1996年至2020年期间进行的自身研究。该数据集由5030条事件记录组成，所有记录都与地理坐标相关联。在所研究的区域内共记录了隶属于9个属、6个科的13种两栖动物，不过俄罗斯这个地区两栖动物物种的分布尚未得到充分研究。这在隐性物种传播的情况下尤为重要，因为隐性物种只能通过分子遗传学研究方法来识别。发布该数据库的主要目的是使我们的数据在全球生物多样性系统中可供广泛的用户使用。研究人员可以使用这些数据，同时也有助于当局更有效地管理其辖区。
所有出现情况均首次在GBIF上发布。大部分数据存储在野外日记中，我们希望通过将其添加到全球生物多样性数据库（GBIF）中，让每个人都能获取这些数据。
