Abstract: Santos-Filho, M.; da Silva, D. J.; Sanaiotti, T. M. Seasonal variation in richness and abundance of small mammals and in forest structure and arthropod availability in forest fragments, at Mato Grosso, Brazil. Biota Neotrop., vol. 8, no. 1, Jan./Mar. 2008. Available from: . Abstract:We captured small mammals in eight forest fragments (43 a 1.411 ha.) during the dry and wet seasons, in southwest Mato Grosso, Brazil, and investigated the … Show more

“…Although several species were only captured in either the Jaurú or the Cabaçal river basins, there were no consistent compositional differences across these neighbouring watersheds, suggesting that physical or ecological barriers separating their small mammal faunas were unimportant. Seasonality was also relatively unimportant in determining community structure, with observed species richness, composition and abundance remaining relatively stable between successive trapping campaigns during the wet and dry seasons (Santos-Filho et al 2008).…”

“…Pitfall traps were kept open for ten consecutive days in each expedition. Although pitfall traps are commonly used for herpetological sampling, they often capture small terrestrial mammals (Mengak & Guynn Jr 1987, Santos Filho et al 2008, being able to sample species that are rarely captured by more traditional methods (Monteiro-Filho & Graipel 2006, Cá ceres et al 2010. During sampling periods all traps were checked every day and we performed a total sampling effort of 49,600 pitfalls*night.…”

“…This mouse opossum uses the floor and the lower vegetation in the forest, and areas with dense understory, especially near wetlands in primary or secondary forest (Emmons and Feer 1997;Eisenberg and Redford 1999). M. noctivagus is the most common marsupial in the Peruvian rainforests (Fleck and Harder 1995;Valqui 2001), and has been reported as common species in fragments 440 has in the Brazilian Amazon (dos Santos-Filho et al 2008). Nevertheless, other studies report a decline of Marmosops species in small fragments (de Castro and Fernandez 2004;Vargas and Simonetti 2004;Püttker et al 2008).…”
