Small non-flying mammals from conserved and altered areas of Atlantic Forest and Cerrado: comments on their potencial use for monitoring environment
Two Atlantic Forests and two Cerrado areas in Brazil were sampled for non-flying small mammal fauna.In each biome one area with altered and another with almost unaltered vegetation (national parks), were chosen to investigate these fauna.Species richness of Atlantic Forest and Cerrado was comparable in the conserved as well as in the altered Multi-
