similar to mangrove trees, and some seem to use
those to be able to grow on rocky terrain (and
somewhat steep), embracing the big boulders
w/ their roots.
In total, we set 120 traps (with stations
with 3 traps as described before) and kept them
open for 4 nights, totalling 480 trapnights.
We caught 2, 6, 6 and 2 individuals (plus 1
Akodon that escaped from a Tomahawk),
making 3.5% trapping success. Both number
of individuals and number of species were
lower than last year.
Proechimys seems to be high in juvenals
at this time, from what our captures show.
We tanyotyped 2 Proechimys, 1 Akodon and
2 Oryzomys.
João de Vincenzo (Pousada da Praia do Félix)
says he has seen a small opossum (Marmo-
sep?) near his house.
Altitude here varies from 50m to 250m (our
highest trapping station).
A young individual of Proechimys, that was
brought kept in a trap, vocalized a lot in
the morning and was taped. The Metachirus
male also vocalized, w/ a mixture of hissing,
and teeth chattering. We could observe him inside
the trap w/ the penis evicta.
