Records of small carnivores and medium-sized nocturnal mammals 

27/8/2014

Most small carnivores and nocturnal mammals on the Indonesian island of Java lack information about their distribution, which could cause regional population declines and local extinctions to go undetected. A new paper in the IUCN journal on Small Carnivore Conservation, co-authored by Alke Voskamp, a second year PhD student in the Conservation Ecology Group, presents data on various small carnivores and similarly-sized nocturnal mammals of Java collected over a 2.5 year period. The nocturnal surveys supplemented by camera-trapping yielded records of various species and extended the known distribution of the Javan Colugo, which was thought to be confined to western Java, to the easternmost part of the island.
