| Citation | Duckworth, J.W. 2016. Menetes berdmorei (errata version published in 2017). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T13144A115109552. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T13144A22269758.en. Downloaded on 11 July 2021. | Description | JUSTIFICATION This species is assessed as Least Concern because it is widespread, abundant in suitable habitat, and while it prefers primary forest, it appears to be tolerant of secondary and logged forest. Further studies are needed in order to assess its altitudinal range, as if it is a lowland species it merits listing as at least Near Threatened. RANGE DESCRIPTION This species is found on Sumatra, Java, Borneo and adjacent islands. It is found up to about 1,070 m (Payne et al. 2005). DESCRIPTION It is a moderately common species in suitable habitat but it is difficult to trap (Han pers. comm.). It is known from only five specimens from Sarawak (Payne et al. 2005). HABITAT AND ECOLOGY It prefers mature forest though it is also known to occur in secondary and selectively logged forest in the Malaysian part of Borneo (Han pers. comm.). It feeds on mosses, and is usually found on tree trunks (Han pers. comm.). This species is not easily trapped because it is not attracted to bananas or other fruit (Han pers. comm.). THREATS It is threatened by habitat loss due to agricultural conversion and logging, though this is not a major threat (Han and Giman pers. comm.). CONSERVATION ACTIONS It occurs in several protected areas throughout its range, including Lanjak-Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary in Sarawak (Han pers. comm.). |
