| Summary: | The study was conducted in Kubah National Park from September 2016 until April 2017. A total of 12 camera traps were
mounted in the national park and was relocated once. Total of325 camera trap days and 26 species were recorded. A total of
18 terrestrial mammals was recorded over the sampling period. Moonrat (Echinosorex gymnura) recorded the highest
relative abundance of 1.6686 among eight other species using Royle Nichols model. The scent lure that was able to attract
the most number ofmammalian species was Calvin Klein's Obsession with a total of 16 recorded species. Correspondence
Analysis (CA) showed the herbivores such as Muntiacus munijak and Tragulus napu are most attracted to the scent. A
simple experiment was done to record the distance travelled by each scent lures and was recorded that Wildcat lure was able
to travel the furthest of average travelled was 8.03 meters. A Generalized Linear Model (GLM) using binomial was done to
compare the influence ofscent and non-scent parameter against without scent parameters and was found that the parameters
of scent and non-scent does influence the outcome ofthe study. |
