| dc.description | Population sizes of six mammal species were estimated using the King method during the late dry season (March) of 1996 in the Punta Leona Private Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica. The white-faced monkey (Cebus capucinus), coati (Nasua narica) and nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) with 148, 46, and 8 sighted individuals, respectively, demonstrated the largest populations in the refuge. The Central American spider monkey ( Ateles geoffroyi), tamandua anteater (Tamandua mexicana), and variegated squirrel (Sciurus var - iegatoides) were also included in the census. Population densities are calculated, habitat types are described, and habitat use and activity periods are discussed. | en-US |

El mono carablanca (Ce - bus capucinus), el pizote (Nasuanarica) y el armadillo de 9 bandas (Dasypus novecinctus) presentaron las poblacio - nes más grandes en el refugio, con 148, 46, y 8 observaciones respectivamente. El mono araña centroamericano (Ateles geoffroyi), el tamandúa hormiguero (Tamandua mexicana) y la ardilla (Sciurus variegatoides) también se tomaron en cuenta durante el censo. Además se calculan las densidades poblacionales, se describen los tipos de hábitat y se discute el uso de estos, así como los periodos de actividad de las especies encontradas. | es-ES |
