The small mammals of the Sungai Dusun Forest Bukit Batu and Bukit Sungai Putih Forest Reserve were studied. A total of 105 individuals from seven families were captured at the three study areas. A total of 17 species were identified during the survey which included seven species from the Muridae Family four species from the Sciuridae Family two species from Viverridae and one species each from Hystricidae Erinaceidae and Tragulidae. The Chi-square analysis (Yate's correction) revealed no significant difference between the 55 males and 50 females animals trapped at the three study areas. Only Rattus whiteheadi indicated a significant difference between the two sexes (X 4.25 d.f. 1 p0.05). The species diversity was observed to be relatively similar for the species captured at the Sungai Dusun Forest (H 1.91) and Bukit Batu (H 1.75) whilst Bukit Sungai Putih Forest Reserve yielded a considerably higher density (H 2.07).

Abstract

The small mammals of the Sungai Dusun Forest Bukit Batu and Bukit Sungai Putih Forest Reserve were studied. A total of 105 individuals from seven families were captured at the three study areas. A total of 17 species were identified during the survey which included seven species from the Muridae Family four species from the Sciuridae Family two species from Viverridae and one species each from Hystricidae Erinaceidae and Tragulidae. The Chi-square analysis (Yate's correction) revealed no significant difference between the 55 males and 50 females animals trapped at the three study areas. Only Rattus whiteheadi indicated a significant difference between the two sexes (X 4.25 d.f. 1 p0.05). The species diversity was observed to be relatively similar for the species captured at the Sungai Dusun Forest (H 1.91) and Bukit Batu (H 1.75) whilst Bukit Sungai Putih Forest Reserve yielded a considerably higher density (H 2.07).
