Behavioral patterns of Guerlinguetus ingrami (Thomas, 1901) from three natural populations in Atlantic forest fragments in Espírito Santo state, Southeastern Brazil
Resumen
This article set out to build the behavioral pattern of Guerlinguetus ingrami Thomas, 1901 from the observation of three populations living in different fragments of Atlantic forest in Espírito Santo state. These populations were studied on diet, behavior and the effective role of the species as a predator and scatterer of seeds, and data presented here are a systematization of the behavioral guidelines that characterize G. ingrami. After 1,036 hours of field observation, it was possible the identification and description of 31 behavioral tasks grouped in four different categories: Locomotion, Foraging and feeding, Reproduction, Intra- and interspecific interactions.
