The approbation of web resource «Biodiversity of Ukraine» on example of dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata) of Ukrainian Carpathians

The paper examines of individual possibilities of the "Biodiversity of Ukraine" web resource for the analysis of collections, observations and literary data on the example of dragonflies for the territory of Ukrainian Carpathians. The possibility of analyzing the spatial distribution of Odonata in terms of physical and geographical regions of the model territory was studied. Their faunal similarity was determined using the Sorensen and Jaccard indexes integrated into the web resource. Mountain massifs have been established, which are promising for further research into the fauna and ecology of dragonflies. Preliminary data on the spatial distribution of dragonflies for the territory of the Ukrainian Carpathians were obtained as a result of the approbation of the information capabilities of the "Biodiversity of Ukraine" web resource, in the context of administrative and physical-geographic regions. The most studied is the Ciscarpathians Upland (58 species). Territories that are the least studied and require thorough faunal studies of dragonflies have been identified, namely the Marmarosh-Chyvchyny region The perspective of the expediency of using the "Biodiversity of Ukraine" web resource to compare the dragonfly fauna of different administrative regions of the Ukrainian Carpathians has been established. It should be noted that the national biomonitoring system involves development on a pan-European basis, the use of modern methods of data collection, accumulation, analysis and information exchange, and the creation of conditions for free access to information by a wide range of interested. All these principles are provided by the Data Center "Biodiversity of Ukraine", as shown in this paper.
