摘要

Mount Oku is well known for its exceptional species diversity for both animals and plants. A total number of27 species of rodents and six species of shrews are reported from the area. Ten of these species are endemic at local orregional level and are considered as endangered or vulnerable, with a decreasing population trend. They are thus consideredas having a high conservation importance. We sampled terrestrial small mammals from owl pellets during a period of22 months in different areas near the village Oku, in order to assess the importance of these taxa in the diet of owl speciespresent in the area. The 236 pellets attributed to three sympatric owl species (Barn owl, Tyto alba, the African wood owl,Strix woodfordii, Northern white-faced owl, Ptilopsis leucotis), yielded a total number of 543 specimens of rodents andshrews, belonging to 22 species (16 species of rodents and six species of shrews). They represented respectively 69.06%and 30.94% of the total assemblage, the species Dasymys sp., with a final score of 18.23%, having the highest relativeabundance. Of the ten species with a high conservation importance, only Lemniscomys mittendorfi was missing. Allconstituted about 27.62% of all specimens collected, with a relative abundance of 4.23% for species strictly restricted toMount Oku. This study confirms the position of Mount Oku as an important conservation area for rodents and shrews,and highlights the evidence that terrestrial small mammal predation by owls cannot be considered a threat to species ofconservation concern at Mount Oku.
