Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: Observations and reports from Guadalcanal indicate that it only occurs in closed-canopy forest
between 900-1,100 m
and at least 1,550 m.
Calls
were not heard from the many patches of more open forest, damaged by cyclones and land-slides4,5,6. On Guadalcanal, it is reported to nest
in holes
in the ground
, sometimes in forest but usually in riverbanks5. It appears to be a lowland species on Bougainville where it is very poorly known, but there is a report of it nesting in an arboreal
ant-plant2,8.[1]
