Profil Mamalia Kecil Gunung Slamet Jawa Tengah
ABSTRACT: Profile of Small
mammals from Gunung Slamet, Central Jawa.Research of small mammals at Gunung
Slamet, Central Jawa was conducted. Three types of habitats as representation
ofprimary forest, secondary forest and plantation were examined at Kalipagu,
Kaliwadas and Bambangan in order to record its small mammals biodiversity.
Combination of trapping and direct observation recorded 31 species of small
mammals from the areas observed. ShannonWiener index was the highest in
secondary forest (3.8) compared to primary forest (3.6) and plantation (3.4).
The results indicated that most small mammals of Gunung Slamet use secondary forest
for their home range. However data on microchiropterans that were more
frequently recorded in plantations indicated that agricultural plants were
their primary foraging areas. Onthe other hand, most of small mammals species
were rely on both secondary forest and primary forest as an important food
resources. The dendogram resulting from cluster analysis wasconcordant with this
view. Primary forest and secondary forest clustered closely together, while
plantation was recognized as a distinct group.
