The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 3 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

This data covers the eastern part of West Java, which was previously unsurveyed. We conducted surveys on Mount Sawal and Mount Papandayan as separate mountains, as well as Leuweung Sancang, which consists of lowland forests.

The taxonomic coverage of this dataset includes four species of white-toothed shrews (Crocidura) from the family Soricidae: Crocidura umbra Demos, Achmadi, Handika, Maharadatunkamsi, Rowe & Esselstyn, 2016; Crocidura monticola Peters, 1870; Crocidura orientalis Jentink, 1890; and Crocidura brunnea Jentink, 1888. This dataset provides valuable insights into the diversity of Crocidura species in Java.

Crocidura Wagler, 1832 is a widespread genus with high micro‑endemism. Unfortunately, its Javan species lacks adequate information on its geographic distribution. Here, we present the first record of Crocidura umbra Demos, Achmadi, Handika, Maharadatunkamsi, Rowe & Esselstyn, 2016 from Mount Papandayan, which was previously thought to be endemic to Mount Gede, expand the geographic range of Crocidura orientalis Jentink, 1890 on Mount Papandayan and Crocidura monticola Peters, 1870 on Mount Sawal, and rediscover Crocidura brunnea Jentink, 1888 in Javan lowland forest. The new data provide important information to better understand this inadequately studied genus of small mammal on Java.

The personnel involved in the project:

For each location, four days (three nights) of data collection were conducted with a combination of 55 traps that consist of 10 L bucket pitfall traps with drift fence, Victor traps, and Sherman traps. We used a mixture of peanut butter and “terasi”, a traditional shrimp paste, as bait.
