2008 to 2010

We are currently planning the second phase of our small carnivore study within Krau Wildlife Reserve. Our proposal is to continue the live-trapping, camera-trapping and radio telemetry programs within a new study site at Kuala Lompat, on the eastern edge of the reserve. Please check back soon for details.

February to May 2007

To complete the first phase of our small carnivore study, we radio-tracked one male short-tailed mongoose within the Jenderak Selatan study area.

May to September 2006

Within the Jenderak Selatan study area, we captured, collared and radio-tracked five animals: four Malay civets (two females and two males) and one short-tailed mongoose (a male). We also set up six camera-traps but they did not record any carnivore species.

October to December 2005

Within the Jenderak Selatan study area, we collected nocturnal activity data from two animals that still had active radio-collars (a female Malay civet and a female short-tailed mongoose). We also set up seven camera-traps and recorded images of two carnivore species: marbled cat and Malay civet.

March to July 2005 

We set live-traps within the Jenderak Selatan study area and caught three small carnivore species (13 individuals): Malay civet, common palm civet and short-tailed mongoose - this species has never been studied before. We collared and radio-tracked four Malay civets, four short-tailed mongooses and one common palm civet. We also set up two camera-traps at Kuala Lompat and recorded five carnivore species: leopard, sun bear, large Indian civet, common palm civet and leopard cat.

July to October 2004

We successfully completed a pilot study within the Jenderak Selatan and Lubuk Baung study sites. We set live-traps at various locations and captured nine Malay civets. We collared and radio-tracked one adult male at Lubuk Baung to investigate the feasibility of conducting a radio-telemetry project and to gather preliminary data. Spotlighting at night revealed the presence of the common palm civet.
