Small-mammal abundance and species diversity: land use and seasonal influences in the Serengeti Ecosystem, Tanzania

Land use, habitat suitability, and seasonality can fundamentally shape small-mammal abundance, species richness, diversity, evenness, and composition. However, how these characteristics of small mammals are determined by land use, habitat type, and rainfall seasonality is still poorly understood for...
