Mustiangi, Meika A. 1994 60 journal 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.
