| Abstract | Costa Rica is a country whose geographical location plays an important role as a filter for species from North y South-America resulting in the establishment a great diversity of species. In Costa Rica there have been registered a total of 245 species of mammals of the 4,381 registered worldwide, having the 5.6% of global diversity. From the 245 species, only 48 species are considered as medium-sized mammals. In this study we evaluated the richness and the abundance of medium-sized mammals of the Tirimbina Biological Reserve through trapping, making diurnal and nocturnal walks and looking for footprints. There was a richness of 17 species of medium-sized mammals, where the most abundant species were raccoons ( Procyon lotor ) y opossums ( Didelphis marsupialis ). Key words: Conservation, Costa Rica, Habitat fragmentation, Raccoon, Traps. |
