Abstract

A field survey was conducted in Pangandaran Nature Reserve (PNR), West Java, Indonesia between 2011 and 2015, during which fresh carcasses of wild mammals were collected. Body sizes of these carcasses were performed. This paper reports relevant data for future applications.

Highlights

Pangandaran Nature Reserve (PNR) is located on the southern coast of West Java, Indonesia, with an average elevation of approximately 100 m above sea level
Forest rangers listed 23 species of mammals and 62 species of birds. They enumerated important and interesting animals occurring in the reserve, such as primates (Trachypithecus auratus and Macaca fascicularis), squirrels (Caliosciurus nigrovitatus and Ratufa bicolor), hornbills (Anthracoceros convexus), flying foxes (Pteropus vampirus), flying lemurs (Galeopterus variegatus), mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus), palm civet (Viverricula malaccensis), porcupines (Hystrix javanica), and jungle cat (Felis bengalensis) (Sumardja and Kartawinata 1977)

Summary

Introduction

Pangandaran Nature Reserve (PNR) is located on the southern coast of West Java, Indonesia (latitude 7430S; longitude 108400E), with an average elevation of approximately 100 m above sea level. Forest rangers listed 23 species of mammals and 62 species of birds. They enumerated important and interesting animals occurring in the reserve, such as primates (Trachypithecus auratus and Macaca fascicularis), squirrels (Caliosciurus nigrovitatus and Ratufa bicolor), hornbills (Anthracoceros convexus), flying foxes (Pteropus vampirus), flying lemurs (Galeopterus variegatus), mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus), palm civet (Viverricula malaccensis), porcupines (Hystrix javanica), and jungle cat (Felis bengalensis) (Sumardja and Kartawinata 1977). For establishing and management of the nature reserve and for educational use, accumulation of fundamental information on fauna and making them public is very important, which is often neglected in Indonesia. We report the body size of mammal carcasses we collected so far in PNR
