Abstract
Temporal activity patterns of the Malaysian wood rat Rattus tiomanicus (Miller) in a cocoa-coconut plantation was monitored by their number of captures at two-hourly intervals. The rats were noctural and were found active between dusk and dawn. They exhibited three peak periods of activity during the night (1800h-2000h 2200h-2 400h and 0200h-0400h). Adults (body weight 90 g) were captured most. The trapping behaviour of the animal within a 24-hour period showed that out of 610 rats caught 73 of them were caught only once 22 twice 4 thrice and 1 four times. Rainfall and bright moonlight seemed to affect their activities
