MAMMIBRU

The MAMMIBRU Data Base is a geographical information system on mammals of the Brussels Region. It includes mammal records obtained by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences conservation biology team and its collaborators in the course of studies of the biodiversity of the region conducted in cooperation with the Brussels Institute for Environmental Management and with its support. For each record, data included are exact geographical location (point data), date and time of day, detection mode, observer, number of individuals recorded, specific identification, confidence level of identification.

Extracts of the base can be consulted, either in map form or in tabular form, by selecting MAMMIBRU below. This will open a consultation window. To return to this page, close the window. The material may be used freely for scientific, educational and conservation purposes, with the following citation:

The data gathering methodology is summarised in a separate document, available by selecting METHODOLOGY below. Major participants to the research and links to institutions and organisations cooperating in the project are listed under PARTICIPANTS. A number of documents have been created in the course of the project. They include, in particular, an annotated list of the mammals of the Brussels Region, grid maps summarising their distribution, data sheets on the biology of selected species, photographic documents on mammals or their habitats. They are reached by selecting MAMMAL LIST below. Also relevant to the conservation of Brussels mammals, and prepared within the framework of the project, is the catalogue of habitat types of the Brussels Region included in the PHYSIS Data Base, also available on line on the Conservation Biology site.
