Abstract

A systematic technique is described for the census of small arboreal mammals, by placing traps on portable wooden brackets attached to trees in a grid formation. The technique, and some effects of trap position and trapping season, was evaluated in a 24-ha patch of open forest near Armidale, N.S.W. Trapping season and the species of tree supporting traps was found to influence the success of sugar glider capture.
