Small mammals at forest-oil palm edges raw datasets
This is the combined trapping data for the study of small mammals at forest-oil palm plantation edges carried out by P.M. Chapman in 2017, chiefly in the Stability of Altered Forest Ecosystems project landscape, near where Blocks A and C border the Benta Wawasan oil palm estate. Trapping was also carried out some 23km WSW at a second forest-plantation edge in the Selangan Batu Oil Palm estate. The study comprised two parts; a conventional grid trapping study (36 traps in a 9x4 arrangement) of small mammals straddling an edge from 46m into the forest to 138m into the plantation (with a plantation interior control site based in the OP2 sampling block); and a spool-and-line tracking experiment that was based on the forest portion of the same grids, but using separate trapping nights (with traps set at dusk and checked at c. 9PM) and six extra traps per grid. This is the combined raw data for both sections, including trapping locations, species IDs, PIT tag identifiers and biometrics for the first part of the project, and this data plus basic information on the spool-and-line tracking for the second part of the project.
