Information from diversity inventories was used to study patterns of biodiversity and species distribution, to identify potential priority areas for conservation, and to guide future sampling efforts. In this context, we compiled information on non-volant small mammal communities from the high Andes (>2000 m). Here, we present an open source dataset containing information on diversity (species composition, number of individuals captured), inventory design (type of traps, sampling efforts), and environment (habitat) for both unpublished and published information. This study covers 630 mammalian communities, geographically distributed throughout the Andes in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile. We compiled a total of 26,412 individual records belonging to 240 species; the order with greatest number of records was Rodentia (n = 25,319, 96.06%), followed by Didelphimorphia (n = 373, 1.42%), Eulipotyphla (n = 358, 1.36%) and Paucituberculata, (n = 307, 1.16%). Andean non-volant small mammal communities harbor a range from 1 to 17 species, with 93.06% of sites being composed of one to five species, 27.78% of sites with species richness varying from 6 to 10 species, and 4.17% sites composed of more than 10 species. Multiple sampling methods were used to survey non-volant small mammals; the most representative methods were snap-traps and Sherman traps, or a combination of both, in more than 81% of the studies. This data paper represents the first large dataset of faunal species inventories for the Andes. There are no copyright restrictions associated with the use of this dataset.

从多样性调查中获取的信息可用于研究生物多样性和物种分布模式，确定保护的潜在重点区域，并指导未来的采样工作。在此背景下，我们收集了安第斯山脉高海拔地区（>2000 米）非飞行小型哺乳动物群落的信息。在这里，我们提供了一个开源数据集，其中包含有关多样性（物种组成、捕获个体数量）、清查设计（陷阱类型、采样工作）和环境（生境）的信息，这些信息既包括未发表的也包括已发表的信息。本研究涵盖了委内瑞拉、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、秘鲁、玻利维亚、阿根廷和智利安第斯山脉地区的 630 个哺乳动物群落。我们共汇编了 26412 条个体记录，涉及 240 个物种；记录数量最多的目是啮齿目（n=25319，96.06%），其次是有袋目（n=373，1.42%）、食虫目（n=358，1.36%）和负鼠目（n=307，1.16%）。安第斯非飞行小型哺乳动物群落的物种范围为 1 到 17 种，93.06%的地点由 1 到 5 种物种组成，27.78%的地点的物种丰富度在 6 到 10 种之间，4.17%的地点由超过 10 种物种组成。使用多种采样方法调查非飞行小型哺乳动物；超过 81%的研究使用最具代表性的方法是捕捉夹和谢尔曼陷阱，或两者的组合。本文代表了安第斯山脉动物区系物种清查的第一个大型数据集。使用本数据集不存在版权限制。在研究或教学中全部或部分使用本数据集的数据时，请引用本数据论文。
