Pentace acuta
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pentace acuta faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range, particularly in lowland areas where commercial logging and agricultural expansion have fragmented remaining forest patches. The species' dependence on mature forest ecosystems makes it especially vulnerable to ongoing land-use changes, while its limited dispersal ability restricts recolonization of degraded areas.
Habitat
Pentace acuta inhabits tropical lowland and hill forests across Southeast Asia, typically occurring in primary and mature secondary forests with dense canopy cover. The species shows preference for well-drained soils in areas with consistent moisture and is commonly found at elevations from sea level to approximately 800 meters.
