Surveys on small mammals herpetofauna and avifauna were conducted at Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi (TRBK) Lembah Pantai Kuala Lumpur for five days. The surveys were started on 15until 19 of July 2013. The objective of this survey was to document the diversity of small mammals birds and herpetofauna in TRBK. This baseline information is important to determine the latest status of wildlife diversity and their habitat in TRBK. Kuala Lumpur City Hall will use this baseline data in preparing Master Plan of Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi Kuala Lumpur.Throughout the sampling period 30 cage traps 2 harp traps and 25 mist nets were deployed. A total of 35 individuals representing 4 species of small mammals were recorded by life capture. The 4 species were Rattus rattus (House rat) and Callosciurus notatus (Plantain squirrel) from the Order Rodentia while Cynopterus brachyotis (Lesser short-nosed fruit bat) and Eonycteris spelaea (Cave fruit bat) from the Order Chiroptera. A total of 176 bird individuals from 25 families were recorded by direct observation and mist netting. Chestnutwinged Babbler White-rumped Shama and Yellow-bellied Bulbul were the three most dominant among 46 recorded species. Nine species of amphibian and six species of reptiles were recorded during herpetofauna survey from Bufonidae Ranidae and other families.

Abstract

Surveys on small mammals herpetofauna and avifauna were conducted at Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi (TRBK) Lembah Pantai Kuala Lumpur for five days. The surveys were started on 15until 19 of July 2013. The objective of this survey was to document the diversity of small mammals birds and herpetofauna in TRBK. This baseline information is important to determine the latest status of wildlife diversity and their habitat in TRBK. Kuala Lumpur City Hall will use this baseline data in preparing Master Plan of Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi Kuala Lumpur.Throughout the sampling period 30 cage traps 2 harp traps and 25 mist nets were deployed. A total of 35 individuals representing 4 species of small mammals were recorded by life capture. The 4 species were Rattus rattus (House rat) and Callosciurus notatus (Plantain squirrel) from the Order Rodentia while Cynopterus brachyotis (Lesser short-nosed fruit bat) and Eonycteris spelaea (Cave fruit bat) from the Order Chiroptera. A total of 176 bird individuals from 25 families were recorded by direct observation and mist netting. Chestnutwinged Babbler White-rumped Shama and Yellow-bellied Bulbul were the three most dominant among 46 recorded species. Nine species of amphibian and six species of reptiles were recorded during herpetofauna survey from Bufonidae Ranidae and other families.
