Small mammals at forest-oil palm edges raw datasets

<b>Description: </b><p>This is the combined trapping data for the study of small mammals at forest-oil palm plantation edges carried out by P.M. Chapman in 2017, chiefly in the Stability of Altered Forest Ecosystems project landscape, near where Blocks A and C border the Benta Wawasan oil palm estate. Trapping was also carried out some 23km WSW at a second forest-plantation edge in the Selangan Batu Oil Palm estate. The study comprised two parts; a conventional grid trapping study (36 traps in a 9x4 arrangement) of small mammals straddling an edge from 46m into the forest to 138m into the plantation (with a plantation interior control site based in the OP2 sampling block); and a spool-and-line tracking experiment that was based on the forest portion of the same grids, but using separate trapping nights (with traps set at dusk and checked at c. 9PM) and six extra traps per grid. This is the combined raw data for both sections, including trapping locations, species IDs, PIT tag identifiers and biometrics for the first part of the project, and this data plus basic information on the spool-and-line tracking for the second part of the project.</p><p><b>Project: </b>This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <a href="https://www.safeproject.net/projects/project_view/164"><b>Forest small mammals in oil palm plantations: space use and habitat selection components of the spillover effect.</b></a></p><p><b>XML metadata: </b>GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available <a href="https://www.safeproject.net/datasets/xml_metadata?id=279">here</a></p><p><b>Files: </b>This consists of 1 file: Small_Mammal_Edge_data.xlsx</p><p><b>Small_Mammal_Edge_data.xlsx</b></p><p>This file contains dataset metadata and 2 data tables:</p><ol><li><p><b>Trapping data for the community distribution part of the project</b> (described in worksheet Community distribution data)</p><p>Description: This is the trapping data for the first part of the project which focussed on distribution of communities of native and invasive small mammals around the edge.</p><p>Number of fields: 25</p><p>Number of data rows: 239</p><p>Fields: </p><ul><li><b>Site</b>: Location of the trapping grid (corresponds to the Locations sheet) (Field type: Location)</li><li><b>Edge</b>: Identifier for the edge sampling area. &quot;SAFE&quot; is the edge at the SAFE project landscape, while &quot;SEBA&quot; is the second edge at the Selangan Batu oil plantation some 23km WSW.

This is usually a 10-digit numeric or alphanumeric string, the number of the fitted Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag. All zeros in PIT strings are replaced with capital Os due to persistent problems with Excel irreversibly modifying particular string formats. Various other &quot;generic&quot; individual IDs have been applied (usually the species code followed by a unique number) where tagging was impractical or uneccessary but the animal was very unlikely to be caught again (usually the last day on a grid).

Species richness, composition and microhabitat characteristics of non-volant terrestrial mammals in disturbed habitats

<b>Description: </b><p>A study on the small mammals communities was carried out in disturbed habitats aroundsabah, namely university malaysia sabah (ums), klias peat swamp forest reserve(klias), kawang forest reserve (kawang), kalabakan forest reserve (safe) and maliaubasin conservation area (maliau). the objectives were (1) to determine the speciesrichness and composition of non-volant small mammal communities in disturbedhabitats; (2) to characterize the microhabitat-use patterns of the non-volant smallmammal communities in disturbed habitats; and (3) to determine the microhabitatpreferences of the non-volant small mammal communities in disturbed habitats. the aimof this study was to investigate how the habitat disturbance affects the species richness,community compositions and microhabitat-use pattern of the small mammals. this studywas conducted from october 2014 to march 2015 with a total sampling effort of 540trap-nights. overall, 71 individuals representing 14 species were successfully caughtduring this study. the species richness peaked at safe, and then declined at the rest ofthe study sites. habitat variables analysis showed that all study sites were divided intothree distinctive groups in terms of habitat types. canonical discriminant functionanalysis were used to analyze the microhabitat preferences and use-pattern of smallmammals and results showed the preferences of small mammals towards shrub cover(rattus rattus and callosciurus notatus), litter cover (callosciurus prevostii and echinorexgymnurus) and herbs limber (tupaia gracilis). The locations of the traps have not been given longitute and latitute as there were set on animal trails approximately 20metres from one another. </p><p><b>Project: </b>This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <a href="https://www.safeproject.net/projects/project_view/150"><b>Species richness, composition and microhabitat characteristics of non-volant terrestrial mammals in disturbed habitats</b></a></p><p><b>Funding: </b>These data were collected as part of research funded by: </p><ul><li>Universiti Malaysia Sabah (Grant)</li></ul><p>This dataset is released under the CC-BY 4.0 licence, requiring that you cite the dataset in any outputs, but has the additional condition that you acknowledge the contribution of these funders in any outputs.</p><p></p><p><b>Permits: </b>These data were collected under permit from the following authorities:</p><ul><li>Sabah Biodiverstiy Council (Research licence NA)</li></ul><p></p><p><b>XML metadata: </b>GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available <a href="https://www.safeproject.net/datasets/xml_metadata?id=3265704">here</a></p><p><b>Files: </b>This consists of 1 file: Veg_Volent_mammals.xlsx</p><p><b>Veg_Volent_mammals.xlsx</b></p><p>This file contains dataset metadata and 2 data tables:</p><ol><li><p><b>Vegetation cover</b> (described in worksheet Vegetation_cover)</p><p>Description: The estimated canopy cover and percentage of ground cover of traps across disturbed habitats</p><p>Number of fields: 19</p><p>Number of data rows: 180</p><p>Fields: </p><ul><li><b>Date</b>: Date the vegetation cover was collected (Field type: Date)</li><li><b>Location</b>: Where data was collected (Field type: Location)</li><li><b>Habitat_type</b>: Habitat type (Field type: Categorical)</li><li><b>Trap_station</b>: Transect and trap number (Field type: ID)</li><li><b>Canopy_cover</b>: Percentage of canopy cover (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Canopy_height</b>: Canopy height (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Herbs_Climber</b>: Any climbers seen on trees for example vines and lianas (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Tree_GBH_&gt;10CM</b>: Tree girth at breast height of 10 cm (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Tree_GBH_&gt;30CM</b>: Tree girth at breast height of 30 cm (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Tree_GBH_&gt;60CM</b>: Tree girth at breast height of 60 cm (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Tree_GBH_&gt;90CM</b>: Tree girth at breast height of 90 cm (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Fallen_trees_bran</b>: Percentage cover (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Bareground</b>: Percentage cover (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Shrub</b>: Percentage cover (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>grass</b>: Percentage cover (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Rock</b>: Percentage cover (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Litter</b>: Percentage cover (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Water</b>: Percentage cover (Field type: Numeric)</li><li><b>Twig</b>: Percentage cover (Field type: Numeric)</li></ul></li><li><p><b>Non volent mammal abundance</b> (described in worksheet Non_volent_mammals)</p><p>Description: The abundance of non-volant terrestrails mammals caught across disturbed habitats.

Mammal trapping grid data for the SAFE Project

<b>Description: </b><p>This zipfile contains point grids used for mammal live trapping and camera trapping at the SAFE Project. There are 46 grids, each one consisting of a 4 by 12 grid of points, spread across blocks of old growth forest, logged forest and oil palm.<br><br>The grids were established by Ollie Wearn and processed by David Orme to convert the original GIS files to a single dataset using the UTM 50N projetion.
