| Citation | Duckworth, J.W. 2017. Tamiops maritimus. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2017: e.T21380A22252211. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2017-2.RLTS.T21380A22252211.en. Downloaded on 06 September 2019. | Description | JUSTIFICATION Listed as Least Concern because it is a widespread species that is very abundant in a variety of habitat including heavily degraded areas. There are currently no major threats to this species. RANGE DESCRIPTION This species occurs in the mountains of Lao PDR and Viet Nam east of the Mekong. It also occurs extensively in south and east China, Hainan island, and Taiwan (Smith et al. 2008). There are four subspecies in China: T. m. bopinglingensis, Hong and Wang, 1984, which occurs in Fujian; T. m. formosanus (Bonhote 1900) recorded from Taiwan; T. m. hainanus, Allen, 1906, from Hainan island, Guangxi, and south Yunnan; T. m. maritimus (Bonhote,1900) from Fujian. DESCRIPTION This species is widespread and common throughout its range. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY This is a relatively low altitude species occupying the south eastern coastal region of China. In Taiwan, however, it is most common at elevations between 2,000-3,000 m. On mainland China it occurs in two general forest types, evergreen broad-leaved forest with evergreen oaks, laurels and Pinus massoniana in secondary stands, and mixed mesophytic forest (Smith et al. 2008). Diet includes the very specialized habit of robbing nectar from ginger plants (Alpina kwangsiensis). It is highly arboreal, it is known to make long leaps between trees. Its characteristic vocalization sounds like a “cluck” or short “chirrup. THREATS There are no threats to this species. CONSERVATION ACTIONS It occurs in several protected areas. |
