ABSTRACT
A study of the species composition, relative abundance and habitat relationships of small mammals was carried out in Dodoma region. A total of 77 sites on the University of Dodoma campus were surveyed for small mammals between December 2013 and March 2014. Small mammals were captured using 4 x 4 x 12 inches Sherman live traps. Seven species were captured. Poisson regression was used to identify habitat variables associated with the capture frequency of small mammals. Logistic regression was used to identify habitat variables associated with the presence or absence of the most common species. Models were developed based on six different habitat variables. The community of small mammals at the University of Dodoma campus was dominated by rodents, which formed 94% of all captures (N = 167). The distribution of the two common small mammal species (Aethomys chrysophilus and Pelomys fallax) was similar (p>0.05). Small mammal abundance varied significantly among the three major habitat types (p
