Description

The dataset of Biodiversity of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh province, Vietnam is constructed based on the results of the Vietnam national research project, titled "Research on biodiversity of Son Doong cave system in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh province for conservation and sustainable development”, coded DTĐL.CN-113/21, supported by the Vietnam Ministry of Science and Technology, conducted by the Vietnam National Museum of Nature, Hanoi, Vietnam.

Purpose

Research and assess the biodiversity of animal and plant species in the Son Doong cave system, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The study biodiversity in Son Doong cave and its vicinity in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh province, central Vietnam was conducted in 3 years from 2022 to 2024. The field survey was carried out in 2 years 2022 and 2023 in Thuong Trach, Son Trach, and Tan Trach communes of Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province. The main field research was inside and outside Son Doong cave, Hang En, Hang Va, and surrounding areas. Son Doong cave is proposed the biggest cave in the world. The habitats of field research are from natural closed forest, secondary forest, along stream beds, forests in Dolines, streams and ponds inside and outside the caves. The animal and plants studied were Vascular Plants, Mammals, Birds, Amphibian and Reptiles, Fish, Millipede and Centipede, Land snails, Insects, Arachnids, Crustacean.

Sampling

The species list was made by specialists. Samples of all vascular plants were taken for indentation. Mammals and birds were recorded by human observation, photographing, singing, etc. Bats were traps and taken photographs and the released. Some samples of vascular plants, mammals, amphibian and reptiles, and fish were taken for DNA analysis to identify. Insects including butterflies, moths, beetles, crickets were collected in daytime and nighttime by insect hand nets and light traps.

Quality Control

Research is conducted by experienced experts in specialized groups. Taxa identification is based on published documents in the country and in the region. Some taxa were used DNA barcode data for identification. Results of researhc were published in reputation national and international Journals.

Method steps

  1. Photos of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibian, etc. taken in the field were used to identify species by specialists referred literatures of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibian in the Vietnam and region. Insects, land snails, spider and scorpion, millipede and centipedes were collected to identify. Most of specimens were identified to the species level, but some were just identified to the genus level. In order to identify some species including new species of reptiles, we used DNA to compare with DNA of Genbank to identify species. The species list was check carefully and based on field records, photos, specimens, DNA, and other sources so the species list is reliable.

Taxonomic Coverages

Taxonomic coverage of the research was vascular plants; mammals, birds, fish, amphibian and reptile; arachnid, insect, centipede and millipede, crustacean, and gastropod.
