A preliminary survey of non-volant small mammals in the UiTM Negeri Sembilan Forest Reserve, Kuala Pilah Campus / Nur Rabiatul Adawiyah Gazali ... [et al.]
Human activities such as agricultural expansion, deforestation and excessive logging have caused a great disturbance toward composition of non-volant small mammals’ communities within different types of habitats. Thus, this study is conducted to do a survey on a composition of non-volant small mamma...
