Cocha Cashu Biological Station has been studied for more than 50 years; however, a study had not been conducted in the canopy with camera traps. The objective of this research was to monitor the arboreal mammal community with this equipment in order to characterize their richness, generate new records and differentiate their activity in two strata of the canopy, during different periods of the day. Sixty camera traps were installed at 30 points separated by 1.5 km, forming a grid, one in the high canopy (25m+) and the other in the low canopy (15-25m high), for a period of 6861 camera-days covering the dry and rainy seasons. Twenty-seven species of arboreal mammals were recorded, one of which, the dwarf porcupine Coendou cf. ichillus, is a possible new record for Manu National Park. The arboreal mammal community presented a marked temporal stratification between day and night, while twilight was a transition period with no significant difference to the other periods. It was also determined that the body mass and trophic group of the species influenced their temporal activity and their use of the different canopy strata.
