Citation Aplin, K. & Molur, S. 2016. Mus pahari (errata version published in 2017). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T13976A115118432. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T13976A22405181.en. Downloaded on 09 September 2019. Description RANGE DESCRIPTION This species is widespread from northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and West Bengal), Bhutan (Putlibir), Myanmar, southern China (southeast Xizang, Yunnan, south Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi), Thailand, southwest Cambodia, Lao PDR, and central and northern Viet Nam (Molur et al. 2005; Musser and Carleton 2005; Francis 2008; Smith and Xie 2008). It is found between 200 and around 2,000 m asl. DESCRIPTION In general, this species seems to be relatively uncommon. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY It is a nocturnal, semi-arboreal and terrestrial species (Molur et al. 2005). This species occurs mostly in montane forests (Marshall 1977; Musser and Newcomb 1983), it occurs in both primary and secondary forest. It can be found at the forest edge, but is closely associated with forest habitats. It builds globular nests in dry grass (Molur et al. 2005; Smith 2008). CONSERVATION ACTIONS Globally, it is presumably present in many protected areas. Further taxonomic studies are needed for this species complex. It is listed in the Schedule V (considered as vermin) of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. It is known from Dampa Wildlife Sanctuary, Mizoram in India. Survey, life history studies and monitoring are recommended for the South Asian populations of the species (Molur et al. 2005).
