Description
Within the framework of the Project “Monitoring Program development for species and habitat types of EU interest” within the Operational Programme “Competitiveness and Cohesion” (OPCC) project “Development of Monitoring Systems for Species and Habitat Types” Lot 5: Development of a monitoring program for small mammals with capacity building of stakeholders in the monitoring and reporting system“ old data were collected and validated and new data on the abundance and distribution of Dinaromys bogdanovi, Dryomys nitedula, Muscardinus avellanarius and Cricetus cricetus were gathered. New data were collected using methods described in the proposed monitoring program, aiming to test adequacy for long-term monitoring of species to evaluate its conservation status. This dataset includes occurrences of Dinaromys bogdanovi, Dryomys nitedula, Muscardinus avellanarius and Cricetus cricetus from 2022 till 2023.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,688 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
The goal of the project was the development and establishment of a system for monitoring the conservation status of small mammals to fulfil EU obligations, primarily Council Directive 92/43/EEC from May 21, 1992, on the preservation of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora, last amended and supplemented by Council Directive 2013/17/EU dated 05/13/2013. on the adaptation of certain directives in the field of environment due to the accession of the Republic of Croatia. The result of the project is the developed and tested conservation status monitoring programs for 4 species of small mammals (Balkan snow vole, hamster, forest dormouse, hazel dormouse), whose continuous implementation should provide a set of data necessary for the assessment of all elements of the conservation status assessment in accordance with the reporting forms which are prescribed by the European Commission. A significant result of this project are educated stakeholders of the Monitoring and Reporting System. The following activities were carried out as part of the project: a) Work Plan development for contract execution through Work package 0 b) Developed Plan for field research implementation for additional data collection and preparation of a Gap Analysis with additional data collection results and a report on conducted field research for additional data collection through Work Package 1 c) Developed Monitoring Program proposal for each separate species and a Field Research Implementation Plan (with the aim of testing the monitoring program) and a developed Report on the conducted field research through Work Package 2 d) Developed national programs for monitoring conservation status of the Balkan snow vole, hamster, forest dormouse and hazel dormouse with monitoring results through Work Package 3 e) Prepared Expert baseline for necessary parameters evaluation for the conservation status assessment of the Balkan snow vole, hamster, forest dormouse and hazel dormouse and revision of reference values through Work Package 4 f) Prepared Stakeholder Education Plan and Report on Stakeholder Education through Work Package 5
