Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: The species occurs in primary montane forest, including natural bamboo thickets, which occur in landslide or burned areas within the forest (Ruedas 1995), and is potentially moderately tolerant to some stages of forest disturbance (D. Balete and L. Heaney pers. comm).
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The current situation on Mt. Halcon is that the area is heavily forested and is not under threat (L. Heaney pers. comm.), however, previously there was heavy deforestation on the island (Heaney and Utzurrum 1991).
