Habitat loss and fragmentation are likely to affect individual condition as they usually alter the quality of habitat. However, responses of individuals of different species to these processes may be subtle and difficult to detect, despite that such responses may reveal interesting and diverse strategies of persistence of species in fragmented landscapes. Here, we used model selection to 1) compare the body condition (Scaled Mass Index) of 2 Neotropical marsupials (
