ResumoEffect of the forest-savanna-grassland gradient on the small mammals of the high Urucum Mountains, west of Brazil. The Urucum Mountains comprehend a hilly region in western Brazil which lies in the western edge of the Pantanal wetlands, being characterized by the contact among forests, savannas and grasslands. It is usually known that the community structure of small mammals is strongly influenced by the habitat diver- sity. Based on this, we determined the influence of the forest-savanna-grassland gradient in the structure of the small mammal community in the Urucum Mountains. For sampling small mammal species, pitfall traps were installed within semideciduous forests, savannas and grasslands. In total, 10 species were recorded, nine in semideciduous forest, four in savanna and five in grassland. However, there is no significant difference between habitats in relation to abundance, richness and species diversity. Four species were recorded
