Despite that, the mammalian fauna, especially small mammals, is the least studied of all Brazilian biomes. In order to fill gaps and provide detailed information on small mammals (Didelphimorphia, Rodentia) in the Caatinga biome, we compiled reliable records focusing on richness, composition and some biometric data. These records came from mammal collections, papers, theses, books, and unpublished data, prioritizing records with vouchers housed in scientific collections. We compiled a total of 3133 records from 816 locations, resulting in a richness of 47 native species (12 marsupials and 35 rodents, plus three exotic rodents, <jats:italic>Rattus rattus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Rattus norvegicus<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Mus musculus<\/jats:italic>). This dataset includes records of three new species for the biome and its transition zone: the rodents <jats:italic>Calomys mattevii<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Holochilus oxe<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Nectomys squamipes<\/jats:italic>. Of the total number of records, 1808 (57.71%) are from consulting activities, 95 (3.03%) are from zoonoses studies and 104 (3.32%) are from the National Plague Service (SNP). All nine Brazilian states with territory in the Caatinga have sampling data for small mammals, but the number of records and localities are unevenly distributed, with the state of Rio Grande do Norte having the lowest number of records and locations sampled. Our dataset is the first of its kind for the Caatinga biome and has considerable potential value for studies of habitat use, landscape ecology, macroecology, biogeography, and conservation. There are no copyright restrictions on the data. Please cite this data paper when the data are used in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using the data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ecy.3879","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]],"date-time":"2022-10-10T13:05:02Z","timestamp":1665407102000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Small
