From: Small mammal glucocorticoid concentrations vary with forest fragment size, trap type, and mammal taxa in the Interior Atlantic Forest

The study area in (a) Paraguay at the (b) Reserva Natural Tapytá, in the Caazapá Department of Paraguay is located within the highly fragmented Interior Atlantic Forest. The (c) six forest fragments in the current study were surrounded by a matrix of gallery forest, wetlands, pasture, and eucalyptus plantations. Small mammals in the four smaller forest fragments (2–25 ha) had higher glucocorticoid levels than small mammals in the larger forest fragments (633 and 1200 ha). Data for forest cover were derived from Hansen et al.48 Maps generated using ArcGIS 10.7 (https://desktop.arcgis.com)91.
