The location of shelter used by nine species of small mammals released after capture during a mark-recapture study in tropical woodland and open forest was recorded whenever possible. A quantitative profile of such post-release behaviour by different species permits its incorporation into analyses of habitat selection. Characteristics of post-release behaviour also provide clues about the nature of predation pressure on various species. Arboreal species tended to select tree species with boles having camouflage potential. Small species used small holes. Scansorial species used the greatest range of sheltering sites. Average distance moved to shelter was inversely related to the mean density of a species.
