ABSTRACT
Mist-nets alternating 36-mm and 61-mm mesh in woods and low vegetation of cerrado (Brazilian savanna) tested bird-capture efficiency relative to bird length and mass. Of 1,296 birds captured and 102 species, 785 (93 species) were with 36-m mesh and 511 (69 species) with 61-mm mesh. The 61-mm mesh improved capture rates only for some larger species/ so, in general, 36-mm mesh mist-nets are more appropriate for field work in cerrado areas
