Journal L. Costa 1996 July 10 - Estação Ecológica de Acauã, 17 km N Turmalina, Minas Gerais, 17°08'S 42°46'W 800 m. Acauã is a 5,900 ha Ecological station created in 1968 and managed by the Instituto Estadual de Florestas (IEF-MG). The vegetation is mainly "Floresta Estacional semi-decidual" (seasonal semi-deciduous forest) with a very small portion of "Cerrado" (savanna). We arrived in the morning and met José Roberto de Oliveira (manager), his wife Eurica (secretary), and three rangers - José Alberto, Walmir and Luís. Set two trap lines: #1) along Córrego do Retiro, approx. 3.5 km S Acauã - 15 trap stations with 2 traps in each station, one on the ground and one in the trees, #2) behind the village, along the creek that flows into the reservoir - 23 trap stations - same as above. Oat and peanut butter as bait in Shermans, and pineapple and codfish liver oil in Tomahawks. July 11 - checked traps.
