Small Mammals from Three Mountain Ranges in Nuclear Central America

摘要: ABSTRACT Small mammal ecology and natural history are poorly known in Nuclear Central America. In an effort to gain information on small mammals (insectivorans, marsupials, rodents), we sampled three cloud forest habitats mountain ranges Honduras (Cerro Celaque Sierra de Agalta) Guatemala (Sierra las Minas). were collected using removal trapping. A total of 789 specimens representing 23 species was recorded from seven trapping sites. Trapping varied among sites, with a 18,117 trap nights recorded. We describe the habitat at each site, report diversity, relative abundance, sex ratios, reproductive activity, other collected. general, forests contained different communities mammals. only species, Heteromys desmarestianus Gray, 1862, Peromyscus oaxacensis Merriam, 1898, Scotinomys teguina (Alston, 18...
