Replication Data for: Small rodent monitoring at Birkebeiner road, Norway

We provide a dataset of small rodent observations that show fluctuating population dynamics across an elevation gradient (300 m to 1,100 m a.s.l) and in contrasting habitats. This dataset encompasses three peaks of the typical 3-4-year vole population cycles; the number of small rodents and shrews captured show synchrony and peaked in years 2014, 2017, and 2021. The bank vole Myodes glareolus was by far (87%) the most common species trapped, but also other species were observed (including shrews). We provide digital data collection forms and highlight the importance of long-term data collection.

本数据集收录了小型啮齿类观测数据，展现了海拔300米至1100米（a.s.l.）的海拔梯度及不同生境下的种群动态波动特征。该数据集覆盖了典型3-4年周期田鼠种群波动的三个峰值；捕获的小型啮齿类与鼩鼱数量呈现同步性，并在2014、2017及2021年达到峰值。岸田鼠（bank vole，*Myodes glareolus*）是最常见的捕获物种，其捕获占比高达87%，同时本次观测也记录到了其他物种（包括鼩鼱）。本数据集附带数字化数据采集表单，并强调了长期数据采集的重要性。
