Komunitas Mamalia Kecil Di Berbagai Habitat Pada Jalur Apuy dan Linggarjati Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Small mammal community in various habitats at Apuy track and Linggarjati track
of Gunung Ciremai National Park. Distribution of small mammals at Apuy track
(west slope) and Linggarjati track (east slope) of Gunung Ciremai National Park are
correlated with their habitats. Traps, mist nets and observational methods were conducted
to record small mammals from seven different habitats. To interpret such patterns, we
conducted cluster analysis based on Jaccard index of similarity resulting five distinct
groups. Species diversity for each habitat differs significantly indicating great diversity
differences between habitats. Common species appear to occupy disturbed area along
the habitats examined, where as rare species tend to associate with more distinctive
habitat types. The results seem to suggest that forest may still consitute an substantial
component for the preservation of small mammals.
Key words: ciremai, small mammals, habitat, distribution, zoning.
