Ceriscoides perakensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ceriscoides perakensis faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Peninsular Malaysia. The species' dependence on specific microhabitat conditions within primary forest makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as even small-scale logging operations can eliminate suitable breeding sites. Urban development and palm oil plantation establishment have accelerated habitat loss in recent decades, while the species' restricted distribution leaves little opportunity for population recovery.
Habitat
This terrestrial gastropod inhabits the leaf litter and soil layers of primary tropical rainforests in Peninsular Malaysia, requiring specific moisture and temperature conditions found in undisturbed forest floor environments. The species shows strong preference for areas with dense canopy cover and rich organic matter accumulation.
