Description
Habitat
Vegetation: montaine evergreen forests, tropical deciduous forests, tropical lowland evergreen forest, pine forests • Minimum Elevation: 1,000 meters • Maximum Elevation: 2,200 meters • Zoogeographic Region: Hispaniola • Foraging Strata: Understory/undergrowth • Center of Abundance: Upper tropical: higher slopes, 900-1,600 m.; tropics. • Sensitivity to Disturbancet: Medium
Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 2,382 meters (0 to 7,815 feet).[1]
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: It is largely terrestrial
in broadleaf forest
and dense thickets, especially in ravines
and near water, but inhabits semi-arid scrub
on Gonâve Island. It is primarily a montane
species, occurring above 1,000 m
, but locally to 800 m (e.g.
at Las Mercedes2). However, the races abbotti and frugivorus occur(red) in areas below 600 m.
Breeding probably occurs in May-July4. It feeds
chiefly on invertebrates
, rather than fruit as implied by its specific name.[2]
