In this study, we deployed 35 infrared cameras in 15-ha Nonggang Forest Dynamics Plot to monitor the large and medium-sized mammals and forest birds from August 2012 to November 2013. We used a camera-trapping grid system in the main study area, with an approximate density of one camera per 2 hm2. We identified 20 mammal species and 26 bird species from the camera traps. Two species were category I state key protected wild animals and eight species were category II state key protected wild animals. Based on the relative abundance index, Edward’s long-tailed rat (Leopoldamys edwardsi), Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine (Atherurus macrourus), Pallas'ssquirrel (Callosciurus erythraeus), north tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) and red muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak) were ranked as the top five most abundant mammal species. Silver pheasant (Lophura nycthemera), orange-headed thrush (Zoothera citrina) and blue-rumped pitta (Pitta soror) were ranked as the three most common bird species. There was no significant seasonal variation in monthly species number, Shannon-Wiener index, and Evenness index, but there was a difference in mammal and bird species present between the dry season and the rainy season. François’s langur (Trachypithecus francoisi), wild boar (Sus scrofa), Asian barred owlet (Glaucidium cuculoides), long-tailed broadbill (Psarisomus dalhousiae), red-flanked bush robin (Tarsiger cyanurus) were only photographed in the dry season, and fairy pitta (Pitta nympha) and crested goshawk (Accipiter trivirgatus) were only photographed in the rainy season. Red muntjac, north tree shrew, Pallas'ssquirrel and silver pheasant were diurnal animals, while Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine and edward’s long-tailed rat were nocturnal animals. Our results provide valuable data for monitoring the population status of the large and medium-sized mammals and forest birds in limestone habitats, and can provide guidelines for future research and protection management.
