The major objective of our research was to examine the distribution and ecology of the mammals of the Caatingas. Although we originally intended to continue the field research beyond 1978, difficulties in funding ended field work in May of that year. During the two years of greatest activity (1976-78), we were able to examine the mammal fauna of the environs of the Municipality of Exu in some detail. We were also able to initiate detailed treatments of the behavioral ecology of Kerodon rupestris; the habitat selection and interspecific aggression of Thrichomys apereoides, Galea spixii, Monodelphis domestica, and Didelphis albiventris; and the community ecology and reproductive biology of the bat faunas of habitats supporting Caatingas and Cerrado vegetation. Finally, we hope to be able to clarify various taxonomic problems concerning Caatingas species, as well as to offer new data on the distribution and natural history of many species of mammals from this largely unstudied region. This preliminary report on the mammals of the Northeast will be a forerunner of more extensive faunal analyses which will appear as the final preparation of specimens is completed. |
