Resumen
PIRES, Mathias M. et al. Young didelphid consumption by Micoureus paraguayanus (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) in southeastern Brazil. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.1, pp.183-187. ISSN 0327-9383.
In a study aiming to describe the diet of Micoureus paraguayanus in a southeastern Brazilian Cerrado (savannah-like) remnant, we found young didelphid remains in fecal samples from live-trapped adults. These findings uncovered either events of scavenging on dead young didelphids or infanticide adding to the knowledge on the dietary breadth and behavioral ecology of M. paraguayanus.
