eastern Brazil, came back to Boracía on Tuesday,
2 August and reset traps. We moved some traps
around so that now we have 3 traplines:
49 traps along trilha dos Pítões, 5 traps
on road between house and lab, 54 traps
on trail that runs along the ridge, behind
the house, and 51 traps along the road
(5 sets of 5 traps going down into forest
groves); traps along trail to Poço Verde;
and traps in swampish area called "Poço
Preto", around the "Torre" (=tower). Yesterday
our first trapnight we caught 12 animals
in 100 traps (we could not set up all
traps in one day). 2 Maurosops, one of
them the first caught on the ground and
in a Tomahawk. 2 Gracilinanus, 1
Philander, many Delomys (1 a D. sublineatus), 1 Akodon (from the marshy area) and
1 Ozorymys.
Yesterday it rained, since early morning,
it is another cold wave coming from the
south. The temperature dropped (it was
6°C during the night). With the mist,
it is amazing how many more kinds of
moths we attract with the lights from
the house.
