Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Like other members of this genus, this species is able to glide using wing-like patagial membranes and is likely to be mainly arboreal, occurring in evergreen and possibly deciduous forests. This species is also sometimes found in coconut plantations (U. Manthey pers. comm. 2010).
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Forests in this region have experienced deforestation due to logging, both legal and illegal, development such as road-building, and agricultural expansion. Habitat fragmentation due to infrastructure development may also impact upon this species locally, however, despite these threats, large portions of forest habitat remain and habitat degradation is not considered a major threat to this species at this time.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: There are no known species-specific conservation measures in place for this species. Further research into the habitat status of this species is needed as well as monitoring of trends in population size.
