Mouriri pranceana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Mouriri pranceana faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Brazilian Amazon. 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 forest ecosystems this species requires.
Habitat
Mouriri pranceana inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in terra firme forests on well-drained soils. The species occurs in primary forest understory and forest edges, showing preference for areas with high humidity and stable canopy cover.
