| Citation | Aplin, K., Lunde, D. & Molur, S. 2016. Rattus nitidus (errata version published in 2017). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T19352A115147863. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T19352A22443559.en. Downloaded on 10 September 2019. | Description | RANGE DESCRIPTION This very widespread Asian species, ranges from northeastern South Asia (Bhutan, India and Nepal [Molur et al. 2005]; probably present in Bangladesh), much of central, southern and eastern China (including the island of Hainan) (Smith and Xie 2008), ranging into Southeast Asia, where it has been recorded from Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Viet Nam and probably occurs more widely. It has been introduced to Benguet Province, Luzon in the Philippines; Palau; central Sulawesi (Indonesia); Seram (Indonesia); and the Vogelkop Peninsula of Papua Province (Indonesia) (Corbet and Hill 1992; Flannery 1995; Musser and Carleton 2005). In South Asia the species occurs from 686 to 2,740 m asl (Molur et al. 2005). It is presumably found as low as sea level in parts of its range. DESCRIPTION This is a very abundant species. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY This very adaptable species occurs in various forest types, cropland and human settlements. THREATS There are no major threats to this species. CONSERVATION ACTIONS It is present in many protected areas. It is listed in the Schedule V (considered as vermin) of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
