• Small mammals in a mosaic of forest remnants and anthropogenic habitats—evaluating matrix quality in an Atlantic forest landscape (2007, background): “Moreover, capture success using Sherman traps is known to be higher in the dry compared to the wet season, when the availability of food resources to Neotropical small mammals is usually lower, probably increasing the efficiency of the bait (Pardini and Umetsu 2006; Umetsu et al. 2006).”
• Time-lag in biological responses to landscape changes in a highly dynamic Atlantic forest region (2009, unknown): “This method has been shown to be highly efficient for sampling small mammals in the Atlantic forest (Umetsu et al., 2006).”
• Beyond the Fragmentation Threshold Hypothesis: Regime Shifts in Biodiversity Across Fragmented Landscapes (2010, methodology): “We used large pitfall traps, which are more effective than traditional live-traps, capturing a higher number of species and individuals, including rare species, and concentrated sampling effort in the wet season, when daily capture success is known to be higher [43].”
