Descrição

Occurrences of medium and small mammals recorded during short point-based surveys across mainland Spain between 2023 and 2025. The data include geographic coordinates, survey effort, observer names and scientific names for each sighting, collected as part of the national "MOMAT" monitoring programme.

Dados Sobre o Projeto

State and EU regulations require Member States to monitor, track, and assess various species of terrestrial mammals. Periodically, it is necessary to update reports and Red Lists, which are essential for defining appropriate management measures to protect and promote biodiversity in our country. In this context, the project developed by SECEM together with TRAGSATEC (2024–2025) was launched, in which a Terrestrial Mammal Monitoring plan (MOMAT) was designed. Its objective is to gather information on most mammal species that currently lack specific monitoring programs. At present, the MOMAT project operates thanks to volunteer participation. The data collected help improve knowledge about the species included both in the annexes of the Habitats Directive and in the EU Regulation on invasive alien species. All the information generated will contribute to future updates of the Atlas and Red Book of Terrestrial Mammals of Spain, facilitating a better understanding of our fauna and supporting more effective decision-making in conservation.

Financiamento Mejora del conocimiento del estado de conservación de la fauna terrestre continental de España (especies autóctonas y exóticas invasoras): Informes sexenales del artículo 17 (Directiva Hábitats) y del artículo 24 (Especies Invasoras), y actualización de atlas y libros rojos”, commissioned by the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO), implemented by TRAGSATEC, and funded by the European Union (NextGenerationEU).
Descrição da Área de Estudo The study area encompasses the entire Spanish territory, including the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla. This region spans a wide range of bioclimatic zones, from Atlantic and Alpine in the north, to Mediterranean and semi-arid regions in the south and southeast, as well as Macaronesian climates in the Canary Islands. Elevation ranges from sea level to over 3,400 m in the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada, resulting in steep climatic and habitat gradients. The landscape is highly heterogeneous, comprising forests (deciduous, coniferous, and mixed), shrublands, grasslands, wetlands, rivers and streams, coastal areas, agricultural lands, and urbanized zones. Such environmental diversity supports a broad spectrum of terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammal species with varying ecological requirements and detectability, making standardized and complementary survey methods essential for comprehensive monitoring.

Métodos de Amostragem

Multispecies point surveys were conducted at three fixed locations per grid cell, chosen for their likelihood of detecting terrestrial and aquatic species. Surveys followed a standardized protocol with a fixed duration, recording species via direct observation or indirect signs (tracks, faeces, feeding remains). All observations were georeferenced and validated using the same digital tools and expert review as other datasets to ensure consistency.

Descrição dos passos do método:

  1. Multispecies point surveys were conducted at three fixed locations per grid cell, selected for their suitability to detect terrestrial and aquatic species, such as under bridges, at road crossings, or along riverbanks, where animals are likely to leave traces. Surveys followed a standardised point-based protocol with a fixed duration per sampling event. Both aquatic and non-aquatic species were recorded through direct observation or indirect evidence (tracks, faeces, feeding remains). Observations were georeferenced and recorded using the same digital tools and expert validation procedures as the other datasets, ensuring consistency across data sources.
