Duguetia scottmorii

Declining

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Duguetia scottmorii faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional threats to the specialized lowland rainforest ecosystems this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Duguetia scottmorii inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary forest understory and forest edges. The species occurs in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall, preferring well-drained soils in terra firme forest formations.
