Abstract

Objective To investigate the composition and distribution of rodent species in different habitats in the Danxia Mountain National Nature Reserve in Shaoguan, Guangdong province, China, to improve the species diversity data in this area, and to provide a basis for biological conservation, production, and tourism management in the reserve. Methods Traps were used to capture rodents in 11 sites in the habitats of farmlands, forests, and scenic spots in the reserve. The independent samples Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to assess the significance of capture rate in different habitats. The diversity indices were calculated and compared based on the number of rodent species and individuals. Results A total of 102 rodents were captured. The average capture rate was the highest in farmlands (18.24%), followed by scenic spots, and forests had the lowest capture rate. The rodent species were assigned to 1 order (Rodentia), 1 family, 5 genera, and 8 species by morphological and molecular identification. The dominant species was Niviventer huang, accounting for 43.14% of the total captured rodents. N. huang was the species with the highest capture rate in farmlands (7.07%) and scenic spots (5.59%), N. lotipes was the species with the highest capture rate in forests (3.16%). Species richness and diversity indices showed the order of farmlands>forests>scenic spots. Conclusion The distribution patterns of rodents in different habitats suggest that agricultural production and tourism will create environmental conditions that increase rodent population size and diversity.
