Abstract

This data article presents the diversity of flora and selected fauna in Tasik Kenyir, Malaysia. This man-made lake once suffered huge loss of biodiversity for allowing an earth-dam construction during 1980s. Series of publications on different types of target taxa have been published separately after the post-dam construction. A biodiversity assessment was conducted in Tasik Kenyir from March 2015 until February 2016. The one year assessment were compiled with the previous published data to document and updated the biodiversity checklist in the lake. The data show that Tasik Kenyir is occupied by 113 tree species, 217 butterfly species, 35 bee species, 26 reptile species, 267 aves species and 153 mammal species. The micro-climate data was downloaded from the Malaysian Meteorological Department and analysed in R Studio to highlight the relationship between climate data and biodiversity data.

How data were acquired Flora and fauna data were obtained throughout 12 months field sampling and analysed using the R software. Micro-climate profile was downloaded from the Malaysian Meteorological Department (http://www.met.gov.my/).
The instrument used for data sampling varied from trapping, transect monitoring and bioacoustics.
Data format Raw
Semi-Analysed
Parameters for data collection Random forest plot with 25 m x 25 m subplots were established. Bait trapping and modified Pennsylvanian light trapping were set up randomly in the forested area. Aerial netting and visual encounter survey (VES) were conducted along 1 km sampling transect. Pitfall trap with 5 m aluminium fencing were installed near to the water bodies. Mist netting (2.6 m x 10 m) and four-bank harp trapping were placed at presumable bat flyway, less cluttered area and water bodies. Cage trapping was deployed at the ground level.
Description of data collection Descriptive abundance by pool per taxa and ecosystem services. The diversity estimations using Shannon and Simpson Indices for collected taxa in Tasik Kenyir area based on the mentioned parameters in 12 month period. The species recorded list then was compared to International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List (IUCN Red List) database to determine the exact status of species in Tasik Kenyir and the exact species in the world.

Value of the Data
  • The data is constructed from flora and selected faunal diversity and abundance. Thus, the data highlight local species record and contributing in updating the current taxa checklist in Tasik Kenyir, Terengganu.

  • Current checklist could be use by scientific community to evaluate and comparing previous and current taxa, evaluating Tasik Kenyir biodiversity health and identify the important species to protected and conserved.

  • Current checklist mostly covered at eco-tourism areas representing approximately less than 50% of Tasik Kenyir area. Besides, new locality records offer research opportunities and collaboration in future to explore and address the subject matter.

  • The data was pool per taxon to relate with one year forest phenology and climate data in describing the relationship of forest as the main habitat for diversity and abundance of selected wildlife.

  • The availability of data allow further insight into which environmental factors influence the onset duration and visibility of selected taxa in untouched environments, contrasting rural environments, as well as at areas with substantial human encroachment.

1. Data description

The data presented in this article were primary and secondary data on selected wildlife taxa, namely, insecta (bees and butterflies), herpetofauna (reptiles), aves and small mammals in Tasik Kenyir dipterocarp forest. Data collected was paired with basic climatology data to evaluate and correlate between sensitive biological responses with climate factors. Detailed taxa checklist consists of number of species found in each and every taxa could be found in the supplementary material table deposited in excel format with this article.

The biodiversity assessment on flora and selected fauna taxa which are insect (butterflies and bees), reptiles, aves and small mammals has been carried out from March 2015 until February 2016 in Tasik Kenyir, Terengganu (Table 1). Tasik Kenyir is the largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia which covers an area 260 km2. The lake was established as a result of the implementation of earth-dam construction in 1980s.

Part of the data specifically plant [1], butterflies [1,2], bees [1,2], reptiles, aves [[3], [4], [5]] and small mammals [1,[6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]] have been published separately. Thus, these published data were combined with unpublished data to document and update the biodiversity checklist in Tasik Kenyir. This data recorded 113 tree species, 217 butterfly species, 35 bee species, 26 reptile species, 267 aves species and 153 mammal species (Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8). Out of these species checklist, 20 species were listed as threatened (endangered [EN], critically endangered [CR]) based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (Table 2; Fig. 1). This data highlight the presence of Sumatran rhino, Dicerorhinus sumatrensis in Kenyir area during 1990s. However, this species was believed to locally extinct since 2000s. Presently, D. sumatrensis has been declared extinct in Malaysia after the death of a last standing male and female rhino in May and November 2019, respectively.

Summary of threatened species (%) in Tasik Kenyir.

The one year biodiversity data was paired with climate data which are temperature (oC), humidity (%RH) and rainfall (mm) to evaluate and correlate between sensitive biological responses with climate factors (Table 9; Fig. 2, Fig. 3).

1.1. Experimental design, materials, and methods

The biodiversity assessment was carried out from March 2015 until February 2016 in Tasik Kenyir (Table 1). A random forest plot with 25 m x 25 m subplots were established to determine the tree species composition in an area. A total of 20 baited traps and a modified Pennsylvanian light-trapping were set up randomly in the forested area to catch butterflies and bees [1,2], respectively. Aerial netting and visual encounter survey (VES) were conducted along 1 km sampling transect during butterflies [1,2] and reptile assessment, respectively. Point count was conducted twice a day and eight mist nets were deployed at the presumable bird fly [5]. A total of eight mist nets and 100 cage traps were deployed to capture volant [12,13] and non-volant small mammals [[14], [15], [16], [17]], respectively. All flora and faunal species were measured and identified. The assessment data was compiled with published data [[1], [2], [3], [4],6,7,14] to have the comprehensive species checklist in Tasik Kenyir.

To highlight the relationship of forest as the main habitat for diversity and abundance of selected taxa, micro-climate data such as temperature (oC), humidity (%RH) and rainfall (mm) was downloaded from the nearest weather station near Tasik Kenyir at Kuala Berang owned by the Malaysian Meteorological Department (http://www.met.gov.my/). The micro-climate data from March 2015 until March 2016 was tabulated in Table 9 and been summarised in Fig. 2, Fig. 3. The collective micro-climate data was analysed using R Studio software and the average mean value was taken to represent the monthly climate value for temperature, humidity and amount of rainfall [17]. The Table 9 data was paired with Shannon and Simpson indices driven form taxa checklists collected from primary data analysis using R Studio.
