This video was made for the dissemination of our article published in the Ecology Journal in July 2017. Atlantic small-mammal: a dataset of communities of rodents and marsupials of the Atlantic Forests of South America. This is the largest dataset of inventories of small mammal communities for the Neotropical region. The dataset reviews small mammal communities from the Atlantic forest of South America, one of the regions with the highest diversity of small mammals and a global biodiversity hotspot, though currently covering less than 12% of its original area due to anthropogenic pressures.

Morro Grande field- ratada
July, 03 to 26 - 2010
This field trip was dedicated to collecting data for analysis of daily and total home ranges using the capture-recapture and spool and line methods.
We also made seed predation experiments and collected some individuals for the study of the digestive tract and stomach contents. But once at the field we witnessed a populational boom of rodents within one of our trapping grids. It happened due to a bamboo flowering event which provided a lot of seeds in the environment. Without resource limitation in this environment, the population of rodents tends to grow exponentially until the resource becomes limiting again.
