Descrição

Occurrences derived from surveys of Arvicola sapidus based on the search for feces, including both positive and negative localities recorded during the MOMAT project between 2023 and 2025. In areas of overlap with potentially confounding species, genetic analyses were conducted to confirm species identification.

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.

Título Proyecto de Monitorización de Mamíferos Terrestres (MOMAT)
Identificador MOMAT
Financiamento All data presented in this paper were generated through primary field surveys carried out within the project “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 Spanish territory of the the Iberian Peninsula. 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. 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

Targeted surveys were conducted in suitable humid habitats within historically known localities and adjacent areas. In each 10 × 10 km grid cell, three survey points were selected in favourable habitat, where field signs (e.g. faeces, runways, feeding remains) were actively searched for during a fixed period of 30 minutes per point. When faecal material was detected, samples were collected and species identity was corroborated through genetic analysis to avoid misidentification with sympatric vole species.

Área de Estudo Mainland Spain
Controle de Qualidade Images of the tracks were validated by the SECEM team. Additionally, samples were collected in areas of overlap with potentially confusable species and were genetically verified using mitochondrial DNA

Descrição dos passos do método:

  1. Surveys were conducted at three points per 10×10 km grid in areas of wet meadows to detect signs of the species, with confirmation based on the detection of feces. In areas overlapping with species that are easily confused, genetic confirmations were carried out using mitochondrial DNA.
