| Abstract: | The use of matrix by species that naturally inhabit forest fragments can be an important instrument to restore connectivity in fragmented landscapes. The type and structure of the matrix are determinant for this connectivity, however, few studies have explored this theme. In this study, we evaluated the community of small mammals within forest remnants and within two types of matrices (coffee plantation and pasture). In all, 11 species of small mammals were captured, being Akodon montensis, Oligoryzomys nigripes and Calomys cerqueirai the most abundant in fragments, coffee plantation and pasture, respectively. The results show that the composition and structure of the community in the two matrix types are distinct from those found in fragments, and the coffee plantation matrix has greater abundance and greater richness of small mammals than the pasture matrix. |
