RESUMO

The remaining portion of the Atlantic Forest within the State of Sao Paulo is highly fragmented and most of the remainders are wrapped up in an essentially agricultural mosaic. This study aims local surveying of non-flying mammals, including their distribution and relative abundance within the humanimpacted environments of Campus "Luiz de Queiroz", University of Sao Paulo, Piracicaba, SP, Brazil, an urbanized area bordered by two highways and the Piracicaba River. The landscape of the study area is characterized by a mosaic of small forest fragments surrounded by pastures, agriculture, and planted forests. Small mammals were captured from February to October, 2001, with an effort of 7056 traps.day -1 , sampling seven of the most representative environments of the Campus – planted Eucalyptus and Pinus forests, native forest fragments, meadow, rubber tree plantation, agriculture and pasture areas. Occurrence of medium and large frame mammals was recorded daily (morning and afternoon) from November of 2000 to October of 2001 along a trail set up to merge the studied environments. Sixteen species of non-flying mammals were recorded, ten of medium or big frames, and six of small frame. Capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) and coati (Nasua nasua) were the most abundant species.
