Table 4 in Composition And Characteristics Of A Diverse Didelphid Community (Mammalia: Didelphimorphia) In Sub-Tropical South America

Table 4. Listing of 12 species of Didelphidae verified by voucher specimens (11 species) or photographs (one species) to occur in or within 5 km of the RNBM. Habitat associations based on 204 captures for which precise locality data enables specific habitat designation. For each species the number of records is given, followed by the number of records with a voucher specimen. Species are ordered by number of habitats occupied; habitats are ordered by number of didelphid species recorded there. For three species (Chironectes minimus, Didelphis albiventris, Lutreolina crassicaudata) no record has precise locality information, and thus no habitat association can be specified. Trap height indicates the number of capture records recorded at ground level, followed by the number of above-ground captures (traps on branches or vines). Trap height data were available for several specimens without habitat information. No information (NI) on trap height is available for Caluromys lanatus, Didelphis albiventris, or Lutreolina crassicaudata. See Table 2 for habitat acronyms and descriptions.
