Muromets
Island is the largest and northernmost island in
the network of floodplain complexes of the Dnipro
within Kyiv bordering the Kyiv Reservoir and the
mouth of the Desna. Data are summarized on the basis
of long-term observations without the use of catching
methods or other forms of field survey. A total
of 14 species or genospecies of mammals have been
identified. Most of the recorded taxa are representatives
of the orders Carnivora (4 species), Rodentia (3),
and Insectivora (3), whereas lagomorphs and ungulates
are represented here only by two species each. The
list of identified species is naturally shifted
towards the most detailed records of large mammals.
For all groups of species, comments on expected
species are presented, which could be found during
further research. |
