“…Among the arboreal species, Caluromys philander (Linnaeus, 1758) lives mostly in the canopy, rarely descending to the ground; Gracilinanus microtarsus (Wagner, 1842) and Marmosa paraguayana (Tate, 1931) are captured from the understory to the canopy, occasionally on the ground; Marmosops incanus (Lund, 1840) uses mostly the ground and the understory, rarely reaching the canopy (Cunha &Vieira 2002, Grelle 2003, Vieira & Monteiro-Filho 2003, Loretto & Vieira 2008. Two species are semiterrestrial, Didelphis aurita Wied-Neuwied, 1826, and Philander frenatus Olfers, 1818, and one is exclusively terrestrial and cursorial, Metachirus nudicaudatus (Desmarest, 1817) (Miles et al 1981, Cunha & Vieira 2002.…”

“…There is a direct relationship between body mass and the use of arboreal strata (CharlesDominique et al 1981), and differences in body size alone limit the climbing behaviour and performance of didelphids (Vieira 1997, Delciellos & Vieira 2006, 2009a, 2009b. However, Caluromys philander uses preferentially the canopy in spite of being more than twice the body size of Marmosops incanus, also arboreal but restricted to the understory (Julien-Laferrière 1991, Cunha & Vieira 2002, Loretto & Vieira 2008, Dalloz et al 2012.…”

“…In particular, the genus is widespread-perhaps ubiquitous-in cis-Andean lowland rain forests (Mustrangi and Patton, 1997;Patton et al, 2000;Voss et al, 2001), and it also occurs in premontane and montane rain forests of the Andes, the Venezuelan coastal cordilleras, and Pantepui (Díaz-N. et al, 2011;Voss et al, 2013;García et al, 2014). Insofar as known, these are scansorial opossums that are primarily active on the ground and within a few meters of the ground in understory vegetation (Malcolm, 1991;Patton et al, 2000;Voss et al, 2001;Cunha and Vieira, 2002;Vieira and Monteirho-Filho, 2003;Loretto and Vieira, 2008), where they apparently forage for arthropods (mostly insects) and fruit (Passamani, 1995;Leiner and Silva, 2007;Lessa and Costa, 2010). At least in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, species of Marmosops appear to be semelparous breeders that experience almost complete postreproductive mortality, such that successive adult generations are nonoverlapping (Lorini et al, 1994;Leiner et al, 2008).…”

“…Marmosops incanus é escansorial, como confirmam estudos realizados com carretel, que mostram uso freqüente do sub-bosque, mas raro do dossel (Cunha e Vieira 2002, maior uso do chão (Loretto e Vieira 2008), ou uso semelhante de chão e sub-bosque, e infreqüente do dossel . Em estudo que comparou capturas em armadilhas dispostas no chão e entre 1 e 2 m de altura em um fragmento de mata, indivíduos foram mais capturados no chão …”
