Abstract: Trapping methods can strongly influence the sampling of mammal communities. This study compared the efficiency of the capture of small mammals in Sherman traps in two positions (at ground level and in trees) and pitfall traps in a fragmented landscape. Trapping sessions were carried out between October 2008 and October 2009 at two fragments (8 and 17 ha), an agroforest corridor between them, and the adjacent pasture. A total effort of 4622 trap-nights resulted in 155 captures of 137 individuals from six specie… Show more

“…Pitfall traps also appear to have higher total capture success than live‐traps placed on or near the ground (Vieira et al. ). Similarly, studies have shown that pitfall traps were three to eight times more efficient for capturing young individuals than live‐traps, depending on habitat type (Lyra‐Jorge & Pivello , Hice & Schmidly , Umetsu et al.…”

“…A number of factors, such as seasonality (Vieira et al. ), moon phases (Maestri & Marinho ), and bait type (Astúa et al. ), which can influence the probability of small mammal captures, are a challenge for researchers to control.…”

“…Studies evaluating the efficiency of sampling methods when working with tropical fauna are important because of the high species richness and the fact that knowledge concerning species assemblage composition are still scarce (Umetsu et al 2006;Hice and Velazco 2013;Vieira et al 2014;SantosFilho et al 2015). Comparisons of study methodologies have direct conservation relevance, as they allow planning of future studies, and identifying the best methods allows the most complete sampling of the target species assemblage (Mengak and Guynn Jr 1987).…”

“…Over the years, in tropical regions, several studies have compared the efficiency of methods for capturing small non-volant mammals (Sealander and James 1958;Hice and Schmidly 2002;Vieira et al 2014). Of these studies, only Voss et al (2001) and Hice and Schmidly (2002) worked in the Amazon.…”
