Abstract

The conversion of forest into human-modified landscape has contributed to biodiversity loss and threatening its diversity in Southeast Asia. Wildlife such as mammals are one of the categories that face serious threats due to these changes. The utilization of advanced device such as camera trap. This study investigated several potential environmental factors (tree height, number of trees) that affect the frequency of mammals sighting in two different habitats (lowland/highland forest, rubber tree plantations) situated in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Generalized Linear Models (GLM) were used to compare the species richness, species composition and site occupancy between different habitats. Based on analysis, mean tree height and number of trees influenced the variability in mammals’ presence for one response variable which is number of wildlife images documented by camera trap. Ultimately, the presence of mammal community is varied between each habitat and are influenced by several environmental factors.
