Population Ecology of Proechimys guairae (Rodentia: Echimyidae) [PDF]
An ecological study of Proechimys guairae in Venezuela was made based on marking and recapturing of individuals at 225 trapping stations distributed over 9 ha. The trappability of individuals was >50% in most sampling events; there was no difference in capture rate between marked or unmarked individuals, or males and females.
