Common Names in English:
Sumachrasti's Harvest Mouse, Sumichrast's Harvest Mouse
Description
Habitat
Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 2,430 meters (0 to 7,972 feet).[1]
Ecology:
This species is found at forest
edge
or among brush
and pastured
in cold, wet montane
regions. It favors more open habitats
than other
harvest
mice; it is fairly common in coniferous
forest, but rare
in mature
, broadleaf forest (Reid 1997). Does well in secondary forest.
This
mouse is mainly terrestrial
and is usually trapped on the ground
;
although it can climb. A round
nest
of grass
was fond under a log
in a coffee field
in Nicaragua (Jones and Genoways 1970 in Reid 1997).
Breeding may occur year-round, and litter size
is 3 to 5 young (Anderson
and Jones 1960 in Reid 1997).[2].
