List of Mammal specios known to occur in Manu Biosphero Reserve, Perú. Nº44, pp. 1-11, 20 setiembre 1993.

We provide a comprehensive list of the mammal species known to occur in the Manu Biosphere Reserve, Peru, from the summit of the eastern Cordillera at Puesto de Vigilancia Acjanaco (3450 m) to Boca Manu (365 m), along an altitudinal transect comprising the Río Alto Madre de Dios drainage; and from Boca Manu to the Cocha Cashu Biological Station (380 m) along the Río Manu. This extensive elevational gradient includes a great diversity of habitats ranging from tropical lowland forests through upper tropical and elfin forests to moist puna grasslands.

The mammal fauna of the Manu Biosphere Reserve comprises 190 species including 17 didelphimorphs, 1 paucituberculate, 7 xenarthrans, 79 bats, 13 primates, 17 carnivores, 1 perissodactyl, 6 artiodacyls, 48 rodents, and 1 rabbit. There is evidence that at least three more species are likely to occur there. A complete list of of localities and the elevational range is given for each species. Most identifications are based on voucher specimens deposited in museum collections; a few are from sightings by one of the authors or a member of their respective field teams.
