very similar to a large Micoureus. Both still had
the deciduous preocular in place. They were caught
close to the creek on trilha da cachoeira dos pilões.
We caught 25, 15, 16, 15, and 16 individuals on the
5 night that we had traps open. A total of
135 x 5 = 675 trapnight. 2 sp of marsupial,
(Philander opossum and D.delphidis marsupial'ig), 6
species of rodent: 1 Proechimys and 5 Sigmomodon
finae (Akodon, Delomys, Oligoryzomys, Oryzomys,
Rhipidomys and Proechimys). Of all arboreal
traps, we had only 2 captures: 1 Rhipidomys
and 1 Oryzomys (the latter showing/accomplishing
quite a remarkable climbing feat). Besides taking
tissue (liver and kidney) in alcohol and liquid
nitrogen for all individuals, we prepared chromosome
material (frozen) for Akodon, Oryzomys and
Rhipidomys. "tovagininha" (bird) fell 4 times in
Tomahawk traps. Didelphis, both black and
gray morphs, visited our traps (according to
Antonio they are not common in Boracéia) and
were trapped 4 times, on 3 different days. They
(or another animal?) messed up with some other
traps without being caught inside. On two occasions
traps were carried far away from their original
place, one of them we never found (a Sherman).
The first was a Tomahawk with probably a Oryzomys
inside, when we found it there was only 1/2 animal
