Mustangi, Meika A. 1993 journal (25) Ubatuba-SP BRAZIL Ricardo and I unpacked and organized the equipment for tomorrow. Outside, cricket and frog sing. July 18 August (Sunday) There are 2 bunk bed, and 3 beds in the researchers' house. We are staying at the smaller of the 2 houses. There's a big room: Kitchen + dining room + living room + working space, with a big wooden table where we can work. The stove leaks gas, and the fridge is a very strong (!) freezer! There's even a balcony at the back of the house w/ a big sink. The bathroom has, electric shower. We set up 120 traps today, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Temperature last night was 15°C. The max today was 25°C. It's been very humid, but no rain yet. Traps set: 40 Tomahawks + 80 Shermans. Stations w/ 1 Tom on ground and 1 Sherman on the ground and 1 Sherman on a branch at ca. 2m. Stations 20m apart from each other. We started just after crossing Rio Com- pido and kept along the trail, going up in elevation. The last stretch today was very steep.
