| Abstract | Background: The mammalian fauna of the eastern Caatinga, a Brazilian semiarid biome, was surveyed in the dry
and wet seasons aiming to contribute to the knowledge of this poorly known region. Complementary live-trap
survey methods were employed for sampling small non-volant mammals and transects along roads for medium
and large mammals.
Results: Seventeen mammalian species were recorded, with five new records for Sergipe state, two being endemic
to Caatinga. More individuals were captured in the dry season, although species number was the same for both
seasons. Medium- and large-sized mammalian species were not encountered in the region, which was also true for
some small-sized species hunted for consumption.
Conclusions: These findings corroborate the importance of using complementary methods for sampling small
non-volant mammals in the Caatinga and indicate that the mammalian fauna of this region, suffering a severe
anthropogenic pressure, requires strong measures for its preservation. | pt_BR |
