days here in Boracéia, and in Brazil.
Trapping success has been going down. First
day we caught a total of 26 individuals;
second day 14, today 13. Yesterday Jim
added 22 snaptraps, so for today we
had 205 traps.
Today, no Marmosope. We caught 1
male and 1 female, both from the
Northern group (they have white feet,
large ears, no buffy sides). Both on
a fallen log (one a bamboo), not much
more than 0.5m off the ground. Both
are small in size, the male had blueish
testis? Gustavo took pictures of both.
Today Gustavo took pictures of Akodon
nigrita.
So far we have karyotyped Proechimys,
Oryzomys, Akodon, A. nigita, Nectomys, a
couple of individuals of each.

Jim removed the 46 rat traps and took those
with him back to Berkeley. Gustavo, myself

USP working with systematics of Oryzomys in
