| Mammal survey in the Rio Jauaper¡ region, Rio Negro Basin, the Amazon, Brazil | |
| 2003 Mammalia (67): 75-83 | |
The Brazilian part of the Rio Negro Basin, a major region of the Amazon, is one the least studied regions of the Amazon rainforest. An intensive, four months inventory of the medium to large, non-volant mammal species was conducted in the area encompassing the lower Rio Xixua£, a minor tributary to the Rio Jauaper¡ river, to the north of Rio Negro. The main habitats of the study area were seasonally flooded _igap¢ _forest, riparian vegetation, higherlying _terra-firme _forest, secondary forest, minor water courses and lakes. Using walked transects, camera trapping, observations form canoe, nightspotting, interviews, and identification of skulls, it was possible to list 42 species for the study site, including 8 xenarthrans, 7 primates, 11 carnivores and 5 ungulates. The habitat use of the primate species is analyzed. |
