“…The occurrence of T. setosus in northwestern Rio de Janeiro has already been reported in Cambuci (Attias et al 2009, Albuquerque et al 2013. The last compilation of rodents considered the existence of two T. setosus subspecies: T. s. setosus from the states of Sergipe, Bahia and Espírito Santo, characterized by a karyotype of 2n=56 and FN=108; and T. s. elegans from the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, characterized by a karyotype of 2n=56 and FN=104 (Patton et al 2015, Corrêa et al 2005.…”

Small mammals (marsupials and rodents) are one of the most diverse groups of Atlantic Forest mammals, representing 40% of the total diversity of mammals in this biome. Some regions, such as northwestern Rio de Janeiro State, have gaps in mammal inventories. Therefore, we performed small mammal inventories in four fragmented landscapes in the northwestern Rio de Janeiro State using live traps and camera traps. Capture transects were placed both in forest fragments and the altered matrix. We captured six species of marsupials, six Sigmodontinae rodents and one echimyid rodent. The small mammal fauna recorded in this study was composed predominantly of typical Atlantic Forest species, with four endemic species. Furthermore, we obtained the first record of Calomys cerqueirai in the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro State as well as its syntopy with C. tener. These findings expand the reported geographic distribution of both species.

“…The dominance of captures on the ground (78.57%) reflects the terrestrial habits of most species recorded, such as Akodon cursor (Prevedello et al 2008) and Trinomys paratus (Attias et al 2009). Monodelphis americana is semi-fossorial and rarely captured in conventional traps (Pine and Handley 2007).…”

The Atlantic Forest faces a critical fragmentation process, and is now reduced to just 12.5% of its historical coverage. The state of Espírito Santo is completely inserted within the Atlantic Forest and has a high mammal richness, despite the severe habitat reduction and fragmentation. The Mestre Álvaro Environmental Protection Area is located in the metropolitan region of Vitória and serves as a potential wildlife refuge. We conducted field surveys in this protected area between 2012 and 2013 using live traps and interviews with locals. Herein, we compile a list of 36 species (including 5 threatened species) in the Mestre Álvaro; these mammal species belong to 8 orders, 19 families, and 34 genera. Despite the proximity of Mestre Álvaro to urban areas, published records on the area's fauna and flora are very scarce, and this paper is the first to document the diversity of non-volant mammals in this area.

“…The vegetation of the study areas is predominantly of low montane and sub-montane tropical forest. The climate in the region is wet and warm, with annual rainfall varying from 2000 to 2500 mm, and mean annual temperature is 24 • C (Rocha et al 2007, Attias et al 2009). …”

Proceratophrys boiei is an endemic cycloramphid anuran inhabiting the leaf litter of Atlantic rainforests in Southeastern Brazil. We analyzed the whole digestive tract of 38 individuals of Proceratophrys boiei collected in two Atlantic Rainforest areas in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to study the diet composition and the helminth fauna associated with this species. The main food items in P. boiei's diet were Coleoptera, Orthoptera and Blattaria. Five nematode species were found: Aplectana delirae, Cosmocerca parva, Oxyascaris oxyascaris, Physaloptera sp. (larval stage only) and an unidentified nematode. Overall prevalence was 71% and mean infection intensity was 7.3 ± 5.8 neatodes per individual.
