Rodriguez's Harvest Mouse
Description
Habitat
Ecology:
This mouse can be found in wet, mature
highland forest
and in pastures
at forest edge (Reid 1997).
Its biology
is poorly known.
It has been trapped on the ground
in grass
at the edge
of wet forest
on Irazu (Goodwin 1946), and in low vegetation in elfin forest. This
mouse feed
on the nectar of a melastome (Blakea sp.
), and
may be one of several mouse pollinators for this plant (Lumer and
Schoer 1986). A pregnant female was captured in July (Reid 1997).
