expand Abstract

The long-term monitoring of the small mammal community in Doñana (SW Spain) was initiated in 2011 as part of the European Long-Term Ecological Research (eLTER) project, of which Doñana is a Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research (LTSER) Platform. The main objective of this action is to collect time-series data on the abundance and distribution of the different small mammal species present in Doñana. Since 2017, this action has been included in the monitoring programme of the Integrated Scientific and Technical Infrastructure of the Doñana Biological Reserve (ICTS-Doñana) and in the LIFE Adaptamed project. The dataset includes information obtained from five representative habitats of Doñana and six sites sampled twice a year (spring and autumn). Some of them have been part of an experiment with different vegetation treatments applied. The sampling is based on capture and recapture methods using Sherman live traps. Information on sex, age and weight of each individual is also included. Here, we present data from 2011 to 2021, which could be useful for analyses of abundance, diversity and distribution patterns of the following species: white-toothed shrew ( Crocidura russula ), black rat ( Rattus rattus ), garden dormouse ( Eliomys quercinus ), Algerian mouse ( Mus spretus ) and wood mouse ( Apodemus sylvaticus ). This information can be used to increase the ecological knowledge and improve management plans for the conservation of the species in Mediterranean ecosystems. This is the first published version of the standardised dataset of long-term monitoring of small mammals (Soricomorpha and Rodentia) in Doñana.
