ABSTRACT
A faunal survey aimed to
document small mammals was conducted at Nature Study Centre of Kuala Atok,
Taman Negara Pahang from 16th to 23rd May 2008. This survey was part of the
Biodiversity Inventory Programme that was organised by the Department of
Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP). On
average, ten mist nets, two four-bank harp traps, 100 cage traps and 40 Sherman
traps were set for six trapping nights. A total of 79 individuals from three
orders, seven families and 23 species were caught in this study. Of the 23
species, three were frugivorous bats, 15 were insectivorous bats, four were
rodents and one was treeshrew. Our sampling site was bounded by Pahang River
and mainly covered with lowland secondary forest. This is evidence by the
highest abundance of Long-tailed Giant Rat (Leopoldamys sabanus) for
non-volant small mammals, and Fawn Roundleaf Bat (Hipposideros cervinus) for
volant small mammals that are adapted to disturbed habitat. The increasing
species cumulative curve for Chiropteran indicates that there may be more
species yet to be recorded from this study site compared to rodents and
treeshrews. Preliminary analysis on the species similarity between our study
site to other survey reports in Peninsular Malaysia, positioned Kuala Atok with
Krau Wildlife Reserve and Bukit Fraser Forest Reserve that are located adjacent
to our study site. This similarity further indicate the importance of future
survey in Kuala Atok especially for Chiropterans to properly document the
species diversity in this site that may be as rich as other well studied area
e.g. Krau Wildlife Reserve.

ABSTRAK
Satu survei mamalia kecil telah
dijalankan di Pusat Pendidikan Alam Semula jadi Kuala Atok, Taman Negara Pahang
dari 16hb hingga 23hb Mei 2008. Survei ini adalah sebahagian daripada Program
Inventori Biodiversiti yang dianjurkan oleh Jabatan Perlindungan Hidupan Liar
dan Taman Negara (PERHILITAN). Sebanyak sepuluh jaring
kabus, dua perangkap ‘4-bank harp trap’, 100 perangkap tikus biasa dan 40
perangkap tikus Sherman telah digunakan sepanjang survei tersebut. Sebanyak 79
individu daripada tiga order, tujuh famili dan 23 spesies telah ditangkap
sepanjang survei ini. Daripada 23 spesies, tiga spesies adalah daripada kelawar
jenis pemakan buah, 15 spesies kelawar jenis pemakan serangga, empat spesies
tikus dan satu spesies tupai. Kawasan cerapan kami adalah bersebelahan dengan
Sungai Pahang dan diliputi oleh hutan sekunder tanah rendah. Kelimpahan yang
tinggi Tikus Mondok Ekor Panjang (Leopoldamys
sabanus) dan Kelawar Ladam Bulat Gua (Hipposideros cervinus),
menunjukkan bahawa kawasan kajian ini merupakan kawasan hutan yang terganggu.
Graf kumulatif spesies yang masih meningkat menunjukkan potensi penemuan banyak
lagi spesies yang masih belum direkodkan di kawasan ini, terumatanya bagi
spesies kelawar berbanding tikus dan tupai. Analisis peringkat awal bagi
kesamaan spesies di Kuala Atok berbanding kawasan lain yang telah dijalankan
kajian menunjukkan kesamaan spesies di antara kawasan Kuala Atok dengan Hutan
Simpanan Hidupan Liar Krau dan Hutan Bukit Fraser. Kesamaan ini sekaligus
menunjukkan kepentingan survei di kawasan Kuala Atok terutamanya bagi spesies
kelawar kerana berpotensi untuk mempunyai kepelbagaian spesies yang setara
dengan kawasan kajian lain yang terkenal seperti Hutan Simpanan Hidupan Liar
Krau.
