Journal Y. Leite 1996 (with L. Costa) July 18 - Parque Estadual do Rio Doce, 13 km E Marliéria, Minas Gerais, 19°43's 42°39'W 300m. This is a 35,000 ha state park, protected since 1944. Jody Stallings conducted a small mammal inventory in this area between September 1985 and February 1987 (Stallings, J.R. 1988. Small mammal inventories in an Eastern Brazilian park. Bull. Florida State Mus., Biol. Sci. 34(4):159-200). We sampled two different habitats: ① wet meadow or "brejo", and ② forest called "vinhático". Vinhático is a secondary forest characterized by tall trees, bamboos, grasses and brejaúbas. This area was taken by fire in 1967. The second habitat is a wet meadow N of the main road, right after the entrance. At the Vinhático we set 4 parallel transects, 30m apart, with 14 stations on each line (also 30 m apart). At each station we set 2 traps (Sherman + Tomahawk), one on the ground and the other in trees/vines (height ~1.5-2m). At the brejo, we set one line with 22 stations 20 m apart. Stations 1 to 10 were placed in a secondary "forest" (capoeira) with short trees + vines and tangles. We set 1 Sherman and 1 Tomahawk on the ground at each station.
