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...

Thus, this study is conducted to do a survey on a composition of non-volant small mammals in UiTM Forest Reserve in 2020 and 2021.

These findings suggest that when the weight of the Tupaia glis sample increases, it gets longer. As recommendation, further study should be conducted by prolong the period of sampling and increase in number of cage traps to ensure more samples of non- volant small mammals can be captured.
