Abstract

Natural salt-licks are visited frequently by various species of terrestrial mammals, but the variability in environmental conditions can modify the mammalian visitation pattern in an inland tropical forest. Given that no similar research has been conducted at Segaliud-Lokan Forest Reserve in Sabah (Malaysia), a scientific research was conducted from July 2019 to February 2020 (eight months), to investigate the effects of variability in the environmental conditions on mammalian visitation patterns to the local natural salt-licks, applying the field assessment and camera trapping techniques. Over all, a total of 12 different mammal species were recorded at four selected salt-licks, and then the visitation frequencies of certain species were confirmed to be significantly influenced by the seasonal variability in rainfall patterns, and also by the variations in onsite and surrounding conditions. Further research is required to validate the influences of variability in explanatory variables that were not included in this scientific study.

陆地哺乳动物在访问热带森林天然盐渍地时模式的变化

各种陆生哺乳动物经常光顾天然盐渍地，但环境条件的变化可以改变内陆热带森林哺乳动物的光顾模式。鉴于在马来西亚沙巴的Segaliud-Lokan森林保护区没有进行过类似的研究，研究人员于2019年7月至2020年2月(8个月)进行了一项科学研究，采用实地评估和相机捕捉技术，调查环境条件的变化对哺乳动物对当地天然盐滩的访问模式的影响。总体而言，在4个选定的盐渍点记录了12种不同的哺乳动物，然后证实了某些物种的访问频率受降雨模式的季节性变化以及现场和周围条件的变化的显著影响。需要进一步的研究来验证未包括在本科学研究中的解释变量的变异性的影响。关键词:环境条件，天然盐碱地，塞格里乌德-洛坎森林保护区，陆生哺乳动物
