Resumen
JESSEN, Rosa R; PALMER, Geofrey H y KOPROWSKI, John L. Maternity nest of an amazon red squirrel in a bromeliad. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.1, pp.159-161. ISSN 0327-9383.
Animal-plant interactions are important in the life history of many animal and plant species but our knowledge is often limited. We documented a maternity nest of the poorly studied Amazon red squirrel. The nest was located in a bromeliad and contained two young, a male and a female. We measured nest and forest characteristics and also documented a predation atempt on the adult female while we observed the nest and squirrels.
