Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: The species is endemic to the Philippines and is restricted to the island of Mindanao where it is known from Bukidnon province in the Mt. Kitanglad range and Davao del Sur province in the Mt. Apo mountain range, at an elevation range from 1,900 to 2,800 m (Heaney et al. 1998). It is probably more widespread than this, occurring in appropriate habitat across the Kamangkil-Lumut Mountain range (L. Heaney pers. comm.).

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This omnivorous species (L. Heaney pers. comm.) is uncommon in primary montane forest at 1,900 m and abundant in primary mossy forest from 2,250 m to 2,800 m (Heaney et al. unpubl. data, Musser 1982). The species does naturally occur in disturbed forest such as in landslides areas (L. Heaney pers. comm.).
Systems: Terrestrial
Generation Length (years): 2
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): There are no major threats to this species, as deforestation is not occurring at the elevation range at which the species inhabits. Fires have occurred on Mt. Kitanglad and are potentially a threat here and on other peaks.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: This species is known from three National Parks: Mount Kitanglad, Mount Apo and Mount Kalatungan Range.
