Comunidad de roedores: Se registraron 1 215 capturas de individuos en ambas zonas, 494 para la ZPP y 721 para la ZMP, que corresponden a seis especies de dos familias (
Heteromyidae y Cricetidae).
Anderson RP, Gutierrez EE (2009) Taxonomy, distribution and natural history of the genus Heteromys (Rodentia:
Heteromyidae) in Central and Eastern Venezuela, with the description of a new species from the Cordillera de la Costa.
2010), no individuals from the three species (Chaetodipus hispidus, Dipodomys ordii, and Perognathus merriami) of the family
Heteromyidae captured in this study tested positive for arenavirus antibodies.
In the old Asian deserts, these rodents are represented by the jirds, or tamarisk gerbils (Meriones, family Cricetidae) **; in North America, they are represented by the pocket mice (Chaetodipus, Per-ognathus, family
Heteromyidae); and, in South America, they are represented by long-eared mice (Eligmodontia, family Cricetidae **).

Based on these results and studies from other southwestern grass and shrublands (e.g., Brown and Heske, 1990; Hayward et al., 1997), we developed a model predicting that livestock grazing will favor
Heteromyidae over Cricetidae by reducing vegetative ground cover (Jones et al., 2003).

Simultaneously, densities of rodents (families
Heteromyidae, Muridae, and Sciuridae) were estimated on three replicate circular 1.07-ha trapping webs per habitat (Anderson et al., 1983) using mark-recapture methods (Hernandez et al., 2005; Laundre et al., 2009; Hernandez et al., 2011b).
