“…cur in the Atlantic Forest of Sergipe (Oliver and Santos, 1991;Stevens and Husband, 1998;Oliveira et al, 2005;Chagas et al, 2010;Rocha et al, 2012). Considering only surveys based on procedures comparable to those applied in the present study, species richness varied considerably, from nine at the Serra de Itabaiana National Park (Oliveira et al, 2005) and Morro Grande Forest Reserve to 36 at the EPDA-Peti reserve in Minas Gerais (Paglia et al, 2005).…”

“…Filling the vast knowledge gaps in the Northeastern region (or even further in the South) is important not only for the understanding of the diversity of mammals within this region in general, but also the local distribution of specific taxa. A number of recent studies have redefined the local ranges of species such as Bradypus torquatus Illiger, 1811(Chagas et al, 2010 and Marmosops incanus (Rocha et al, 2012).…”

Home of several endemic species, the Brazilian Atlantic Forest has been reduced to about 11-16% of its original area, and is currently considered to be one of the hotspots of global conservation. In the northeastern Brazilian state of Sergipe, the 900-hectare Mata do Junco Wildlife Refuge was established in order to protect the regional fauna and flora. Mammals were surveyed in the Refuge on three days per month between June, 2011, and May, 2012, using a combination of sample methods. A total of 16 species representing 12 families were recorded, with the order Carnivora being the most common (seven species). Whereas three didelphimorph species were trapped, only one exotic rodent -Rattus norvegicus -was captured. Comparisons with surveys from other Atlantic Forest sites indicate an intermediate species richness in Mata do Junco Wildlife Refuge and similar to that of other sites in the northern portion of the biome.
