Contents

Range and habitat

Quercus gaharuensis is known from widely scattered sites in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, and Borneo (East Kalimantan, Sarawak, and Sabah). [1]

It grows in lowland mixed dipterocarp rain forests and lower montane rain forests up to 1,400 metres elevation. [1]

Conservation

Quercus gaharuensis is threatened with habitat loss from widepread deforestation across its range. The populations in northern Sumatra, comprising 25% of the species' known sites, are in or adjacent to protected areas. The known sites in central Sumatra and on Borneo are unprotected and have been logged or converted to agriculture. [1]

The dayak fruit bat or dyak fruit bat is a relatively rare frugivorous megabat species found only on the Sunda Shelf of southeast Asia, specifically the Malay Peninsula south of the Isthmus of Kra, and the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. There are three species in the genus Dyacopterus: D. spadiceus, D. brooksi and D. rickarti. All are found in the forests of Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Few specimens of any of the three species exist, due not only to their rarity, but also because they rarely enter the sub-canopy of the forest where they can be caught in scientists' nets.
