About this Page

The EcoChart is a pie chart showing the relative likelihood of observing particular other species commonly observed near Alophoixus finschii. Likelhood considers both the frequency with which Alophoixus finschii 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 Alophoixus finschii 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 Alophoixus finschii.
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 Alophoixus finschii.

Characteristics of Habitat

Range and Population:

Alophoixus finschii occurs in the Sundaic lowlands, from extreme south peninsular Thailand, Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, Kalimantan and Sumatra (one record), Indonesia and Brunei, in lowland and hill forest to 760 m. Forest destruction in the Sundaic lowlands of Indonesia has been so extensive that all primary formations are expected to disappear by 2010, and the situation is little different in Thailand and Malaysia, but the species's ability to persist in secondary forest implies that it is not immediately threatened.[1]
Countries:Native:
Brunei Darussalam; Indonesia; Malaysia; Thailand
