dc.description.abstractThe study was completed through the use of conventional rodent traps, Pit falls and mist nets, and conducted in different survey areas 4 in MCFR and 2 in KFNP for a period of four months. It was observed that different habitat characteristics significantly influence the distribution of species within the environs of MCFR and KFNP. For example, closed canopy and leaf litter significantly correlated with the distribution of Crocidura nov, Crocidura dolichura, Suncus hututsi and Sylvisorex johnstoni. Much as different habitat variables have been assessed and found to influence the distribution of different small mammal species, it should be noted that population size and the factors that affect it, such as food, weather, and predators, could also be important determinant of small mammal distribution.en_US
