Feeding Habits
Fulvous-dotted Treerunner primarily consumes arthropods, including caterpillars up to 15 cm long. It forages solo or in pairs within mixed-species groups, mainly from the mid-storey to the subcanopy. Displaying agility, fulvous-dotted Treerunner often feeds acrobatically, upside-down along branches, using its tail for support. It gleans food from moss, epiphytes, and bark, sometimes directly from leaves.
Habitat
The fulvous-dotted Treerunner thrives in montane evergreen forests that are richly adorned with moss and epiphytes. These lush environments are characteristic of broader geographical regions that experience such dense vegetation growth, offering the necessary ecological conditions that the species requires.
