Abstract

This dataset contains the results of the yearly summer camp of the Field Study Group (Dutch Mammal Society), organized from July 27th to August 4th 2005 in the Pol'ana Biosphere reserve in Slovakia. The mammals of Pol'ana and its surroundings were the main object of study, using various methods. 
Live traps were used to identify small mammals like shrews and mice. Data on bats was gathered with bat detectors and mistnets. Bat parasites were collected from all bats captured and identified afterwards. Other mammal species were observed visually. While recording mammals, attention was given to insects (butterflies, dragonflies and grasshoppers), amphibians, reptiles and birds as well. Locations were recorded with GPS.
