摘要: Analysis of pellets Tyto alba and scats Genetta genetta Sherman livetrapping were compared to assess richness composition small mammal communities in a Mediterranean area (NE Spain). Owl provided 17 species (17,232 individuals), genet 14 (2,145 9 (1,488 individuals). oversampled insectivores grassland rodents undersampled tree-dwelling woodland rodents. Genet After controlling for sample size elevation differences between methods by means analysis covariance (ANCOVA) rarefaction, owl contained higher samples ( 100 both having than regardless size. We concluded that indirect complementary information communities, detecting the 19 known be present study area.
