About this Page

The EcoChart is a pie chart showing the relative likelihood of observing particular other species commonly observed near Accipiter haplochrous. Likelhood considers both the frequency with which Accipiter haplochrous is observed at all locations where it has been reported, and the number of observations of all other species at each of those locations. A species that is common where Accipiter haplochrous is common will have a higher score than if only one of these species is common at that location.
The Top Species lists enumerate those species most commonly observed near Accipiter haplochrous.
While the chart, lists, and wheel are empirically based on observations, observations favor some phyla over others. Typically Bacteria, Fungi, Protozoa, and Arthropods are more common in the field than in our records.
In the section Characteristics of Habitat, we make some habitat inferences based on the known habitat preferences of those species most commonly associated with Accipiter haplochrous.

Characteristics of Habitat

Range and Population:

Accipiter haplochrous is endemic to New Caledonia (to France). It appears to be widespread in humid forest but occurs at lower densities in degraded forest and savanna where it coexists with Brown Goshawk A. fasciatus. The population is estimated to be at least 2,500 pairs. Despite legal protection, a few are killed around inhabitated areas, as it sometimes kills domestic chickens, and habitat loss and degradation are further threats^1,2,3,4. However, it is assumed that it is not undergoing any significant continuing decline. CITES Appendix II.[1]
