Abstract
. Small rodents rely on resource gathering during the breeding season to support their reproductive output and offspring survival. Since croplands may provide complementary food sources, we evaluated the influence of the presence of cornfield on the forest edge in Oligoryzomys nigripes (Olfers, 1818) abundance and breeding. We found that abundance, proportion of reproductive females and males, as well as the number of juveniles were higher in the cornfield-forest edges, with no seasonality, a pattern divergent from the seasonal reproduction described for the species. Therefore, our results supported the hypothesis of cornfields benefiting O. nigripes abundance and breeding success.
期刊介绍：
Mastozoología neotropical = Journal of Neotropical Mammalogy, es una revista de periodicidad semestral, editada por la Sociedad Argentina para el Estudio de los Mamíferos. Esta es una sociedad interdisciplinaria cuyos principales objetivos son estimular y promover el desarrollo de la investigación científica, la publicación y la difusión de investigaciones sobre mamíferos actuales y/o fósiles, así como contribuir a la protección de la fauna de mamíferos de la región. Está dedicada a la publicación de artículos científicos originales, de opinión y revisiones de las variadas disciplinas que estudian a los mamíferos. Se especializa en mamíferos neotropicales.
