Abstract

A survey for Rhynchocyon elephant‐shrews, based on the abundance of nests along strip transects, was developed and calibrated using data from a detailed study of the ecology of the Golden‐rumped Elephant‐shrew Rhynchocyon chrysopygus. Using this method, the density of Golden‐rumped Elephant‐shrews in three different habitats within Arabuko‐Sokoke Forest, Kenya was determined, and was found to range from 23 to 75 animals per square kilometre. On a réalisé une étude des rats à trompe Rhinchocyori basée sur l'abondance de nids le long de bandes transects et on l'a calibrée en se servant de données provenant d'une étude détaillée de l'ecologie du rat à trompe à croupe dorée, Rhynchocyon chrysopygus. Grâce è cette méthode, on a déterminé la densité de cette musaraigne dans trois habitats différents de la forêt Arabuko‐Sokoke, au Kenya, et elle est évaluée entre 23 et 75 animaux par km2.
