Abstract
Tikus dan cecurut memiliki peran yang penting dalam ekosistem. Gunung Ungaran sebagai salah satu habitat alami tikus dan cecurut mulai terganggu. Data mengenai tikus dan cecurut di Gunung Ungaran belum ada. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat keanekaragaman jenis tikus dan cecurut yang ada di Kawasan Gunung Ungaran. Lokasi pengambilan berada di hutan primer, kebun teh serta area perbatasan antara hutan primer dan kebun teh. Metode yang digunakan adalah Single Capture Live Trap yang dipasang pada transek. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan lima jenis tikus dan dua jenis cecurut. Keanekaragaman jenis tikus paling tinggi berada di area perbatasan antara kebun teh dan hutan primer, sedangkan keanekaragaman jenis cecuru paling tinggi berada di area kebun teh
