Fazenda Intervales (base do Carmo)
Another Marmosopr along a bamboo. Nectomys
near the house. Oxymycterus seems to be common
in grassy fields than in the forest. We are
catching animals w/ different pelages. (maybe 2
different species?). We are catching adult
and young individuals of Oxymycterus and
Oryzomys (at least for these there is clear
distinction between individual body size).
Trapping success has been declining. Jim has
been changing some traps to new places,
further down along the trail. O. ratticeps
was caught on bamboo, approx. 1.5m from
ground.
19 July 1994.
We released around 5 Akodon (not nigrita)
on Figueira trail. We brought two Akodon
back, one I think is a nigrita, the other
a young individual of the larger species. Caught
nothing on trail along Rio Lajeado again.
1 Delomys near the house, 1 more Oxymycterus
in grassy area in front of the house.
Today we caught 1 Micoureus and 1 Gracilinus
on bamboo in Figueira trail.
Jim caught a ♀ Monodelphis, very small
and with 3 dark stripes. Marmosopr
show salmon. pinkish colour on ventral
hairs, probably a fugitive colours.
