LEITE, Rafael do Nascimento; DA SILVA, Maria Nazareth F. e GARDNER, Toby A.. New records of Neusticomys oyapocki (Rodentia, Sigmodontinae) from a human-dominated forest landscape in northeastern Brazilian Amazonia. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.2, pp.257-261. ISSN 0327-9383.
Here we report three new specimens of Neusticomys oypocki from northeastern Brazilian Amazonia collected in a plantation forestry landscape. These represent one third of all known N. oyapocki specimens and extend the distribution of the species ca. 360 km southwards. All specimens were captured with pitfall traps, which reinforce the importance of this method for comprehensive small mammal inventories. Moreover, captures occurred during the dry season in primary, secondary, or plantation forests, suggesting that species of Neusticomys may be more opportunistic habitat generalists than previously thought.
