Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Anthreptes rhodolaemus is restricted to the Sundaic lowlands of south Tenasserim, Myanmar, peninsular Thailand, Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, Kalimantan and Sumatra, Indonesia, Brunei and Palawan, Philippines. It appears to be generally uncommon to rare throughout its range (BirdLife International 2001, Cheke and Mann 2001).

Population [top]
Population: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as uncommon in southern Thailand, very uncommon in Borneo and rare on Sumatra (Cheke et al. 2001).
Trend Justification: Rates of forest loss in the Sundaic lowlands have been extremely rapid (Kalimantan lost nearly 25% of its evergreen forest during 1985-1997, and Sumatra lost almost 30% of its 1985 cover). However, this species is thought to have avoided such rapid declines owing to its ability to use secondary habitats.
Current Population Trend: Decreasing
Additional data:
?Number of mature individuals: Unknown ?Continuing decline of mature individuals: Yes
?Extreme fluctuations: No ?Population severely fragmented: No
?Continuing decline in subpopulations: Unknown
?Extreme fluctuations in subpopulations: No ?All individuals in one subpopulation: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: It occurs in various forest types, including lowland and hill dipterocarp forests, heath forest, peatswamp and secondary forest, Albizia, wood pulp and cacao plantations, clearings and coastal vegetation to 790 m. Breeding has been recorded in June-September.
Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Unknown
Generation Length (years): 5.7
Movement patterns: Not a Migrant
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Forest destruction in the Sundaic lowlands of Indonesia has been extensive (Kalimantan lost nearly 25% of its evergreen forest during 1985-1997, and Sumatra lost almost 30% of its 1985 cover), and the situation is little different in Thailand and Malaysia, but the speciess use of submontane and secondary forests and forest edge implies that it is not immediately threatened.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Conservation Actions Underway
None are known.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Determine the species population density in a variety of habitats in different parts of its range. Calculate recent rates of forest loss in the Sundaic lowlands. Protect remaining areas of suitable habitat for this and other threatened species.
