Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: Its ecology is poorly known. Historical records
are from sparse larch woods
, tussocks
on a steep hillside and a bamboo
thicket, at c.2,440-3,050 m.
Recent records are from dense bamboo undergrowth in mixed coniferous
forest
and a bamboo thicket at 2,800 m. Its diet
is mainly insects. Given that it appears to be particularly associated with bamboo, it may be forced to move in response to periodic bamboo flowering and die-off.[1]
