Abstract:
Rodent-Mouse long-term monitoring survey in the Wakayama Experimental Forest (compartment 2 and 9-10) since 1998. One plot is set in the natural foest of evergreen broad-levaed tree (i.e., compartment 9-10), and another plot is set in the secondary forest of evergreen broad-leaved trees (i.e., compartiment 2). In the two plots, monitoring survey on individual trees have been also conducted. The Rodent-mouse surveys were held for 3 days in spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) every year. In each plot, 50 Sherman traps were settled in grid patterns with 10-m interbals (5 Rows x 10 Columns). The captured mice and rodents were recorded their species identity, sex, mass, and were also marked individually by toe-clipping. After these processing, the individuals were released at their captured location immediately.
