Sciuridae
biology_ecology
Habitat. Coniferous and evergreen broadleafforests, at elevations of ¢. 2000 - 3500 m. Perny’s Long-nosed Squirrel inhabits protected planted pine (Pinus, Pinaceae) forests in the Cangshan Mountains and the Erhai Lake National Reserve (Yunnan, China), but not until pines are 6 - 10 years old or older. Abundance of Perny’s Long-nosed Squirrel in this reserve is positively correlated with amount of shrub growth, and it is less common in unprotected forests, which have fewer shrubs of the same ages, outside the reserve. Human disturbances in unprotected forests causes a reduction in diversity of undergrowth, which delays colonization and reduces population levels of Perny’s Long-nosed Squirrel. It is considered important for the pines’ seed dispersal.
