All catches are available, mostly on animal order level, for further research, preserved in alcohol or (to a lower extent, according to the special mode of preparation of the single animal groups) as dry mounts. Per reserve 1 Mio animals were trapped on average.

* There are collaborators for the marked animal groups, but we are very interested to get further groups studied at species level. Specialists interested in these groups please contact us via: Angela.Roehner@senckenberg.de
