This dataset corresponds to surveys carried out in Asia (Western China and Kyrgyzstan) from May 1994 to August 2014, as part of Patrick Giraudoux and his crew's research expeditions. It includes: Traplines set up and small mammal captured. The corresponding collection of skulls, specimens and tissues has been donated to the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle , Paris since the 22nd of November 2022. Activity index transect walked to provide abundance estimates over a larger range than possible using trapping methods Miscellaneous supplementary files and trapline photos. Main files Traplines.txt This file is a table that describes the 787 traplines or trap clusters or circumstances by which small mammal specimens have been captured. Some traplines can have no capture. This is a point to consider when trapping success is computed joining the trapline table to the capture table. Those two tables can be joined using the field 'idLine'.
