| Citation | Aplin, K., Lunde, D. & Molur, S. 2016. Berylmys bowersi (errata version published in 2017). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T2768A115063357. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T2768A22427359.en. Downloaded on 10 September 2019. | Description | RANGE DESCRIPTION This species is recorded from China (Yunnan and Sichuan to Zhejiang and Fujian [Smith and Xie 2008]), north-east India (Agrawal, 2000), north and central Myanmar, northern and peninsular Thailand, northern Lao PDR, Viet Nam, Malay Peninsula, and Medan in north-west Sumatra, Indonesia (see Musser and Carleton 2005). Appears to have a wide elevational range 600-1,800 m (Molur et al. 2005). DESCRIPTION Common and locally abundant, albeit patchily distributed. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY In general this species is present in a wide variety of habitats where there is suitable continuous tree cover, from forest to plantations. In South Asia, it occurs in temperate and subtropical montane forests, and is found in burrows in cultivated fields, disturbed primary and secondary forests, abandoned jhum (shifting agriculture), scrub, moist deciduous and evergreen patches (Molur et al. 2005). THREATS It might possibly be threatened in some parts of its range where there has been extensive forest loss. USE AND TRADE It is hunted for food. CONSERVATION ACTIONS It is presumably present in several protected areas. It is not known from any of the protected areas within its range in South Asia (Molur et al. 2005). Further taxonomic work is required to determine whether populations on the Malay peninsula south of the Isthmus of Kra may be a separate species. It is listed in the Schedule V (considered as vermin) of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. |
