what steep sloper where little creeks start.
After a rain which happened during our
stay there, the dry creek bed became a
seas of little ponds (no running water)
where frog/toads immediately laid
their eggs.
Traps remained opened for 3 nights,
baited with banana, goiabada and mortade-
la, totalling 360 trapnights. We also used
some peanut butter (amendocrem). Trapping
success was quite low. We caught 2 Didelphi,
on the first night; another Didelphi's, a Marmo-
sop and a Metachirus, on the 2nd night; and
finally nothing on the third night. The
Fund Biodiversitas' group captured 10 indivs.
of Mammosop incanus in M.7 with 60
traps open for 6 days (360 trapnights).
Interestingly, Fund Biodiversitas reported
2 individuals of Mammosa murina caught in
Rio da Grota and in M.7. Mammosa mu-
rina, according to Emmons's Guide, does not
occur in this area. It's an Amazonian sp
that extends its range to the extreme NE
part of Brazil. This forest in Aracruz is
part of the so-called Hílêa-baiana, or
"tabuleiro"forest, which presents many if
not most of its plant species closely related
