摘要: Population density, biomass and composition of a small mammal community in an Acacia nigrescens savanna were studied over 12 months from August 2000. The consisted Mus minutoides (A. Smith, 1834), Mastomys natalensis Lemniscomys rosalia (Thomas, 1904), Crocidura hirta (Peters, 1952), Steatomys pratensis 1846) on one occasion Graphiurus murinus (Desmarest, 1822) was caught. M. the dominant species site. Species richness found to vary significantly with time year. density high winter low other seasons. ratio males females equal pregnant caught November May. mammals area (also numbers) generally (mean 212g/ha). occurrence new individuals catches remained throughout study suggesting mortality or emigration rate combination two.
