Mammalia, Rodentia, Cricetidae, Neusticomys monticolus (Anthony, 1921): Noteworthy records of the Montane Fisheating Rat in Colombia

Abstract

We document the presence of the Montane Fish-eating Rat, Neusticomys monticolus, in two páramo ecosystems of the Colombian Andes, in the departments of Valle del Cauca and Cauca at 3558 and 3300 m respectively. For small mammals, páramo ecosystems are underexplored zones in a biogeographic context. © 2013 Check List and Authors.
