Duguetia duckei
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Duguetia duckei faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Brazilian Amazon. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soy cultivation, continues to reduce the species' remaining forest habitat. The species' restricted distribution makes it especially vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while logging activities further degrade the quality of remaining forest patches.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Brazilian Amazon, typically found in primary forest understory and forest edges. It occurs in terra firme forests on well-drained soils, preferring areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity levels.
