activity patterns, camera-traps, Chiquitano Dry Forest, canopy, individualsAbstract
This work is the first exploratory study carried out in Bolivia to know the biodiversity of the canopy. Twelve camera traps were installed for 67 days, from January to March 2023, in the Centro de Estudios del Bosque Seco Tropical Alta Vista. A total of 89 capture events were recorded; 50 belonged to Glironia venusta, where the capture frequency was 6.22 × 100 traps/day. The activity patterns recorded for G. venusta show four activity peaks. Additionally, the identification of individuals is proposed, based on the shapes left by the dark lines in the region of the face.
