Rufous Treecreeper

Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

The Rufous Treecreeper is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

RUFOUS TREECREEPER (Climacteris rufa): SPECIES ACCOUNT Australian treecreepers live in various environments throughout the continent, preferring eucalyptus forest, dry savanna, or semi-arid mulga, an evergreen shrub, that inhabits Australia's interior. Brown treecreepers and rufous treecreepers can also be found in mallee—low woodland with eucalyptus (yoo-kah-LIP-tus) that are multi-stemmed. As a rule, these treecreepers do not inhabit areas that have a dense understory, vegetation under the forest canopy. More

(Climacteris picumnus) and rufous treecreepers are also found in mallee, which are low woodland with multi-stemmed eucalypts. However, they generally avoid areas with dense understory. Black-tailed and white-browed treecreepers (Climacteris affinis) are found in acacia woodland in semi-arid regions, with the latter also having a strong affinity with sheoke trees (Casuarina). Behavior Treecreepers are solitary or occur as pairs and family groups. Territorial defense may be strong at pair or group boundaries, involving much calling and chasing. More

Rufous Treecreeper, Climacteris rufa, exhibits non-random habitat use at a number of spatial scales. By assessing correlative relationships between nest-site use and nest success, and territory use and reproductive success and survival, it was determined whether non-random use of habitat yields fitness benefits. It was also determined whether breeding group size contributed significantly to fitness once differences in territory quality had been considered. More

the rufous treecreeper (Climacteris rufa), though they maintain contact along a thin strip of wooded country on the edge of the Great Victoria Desert. Tasmania has no treecreepers despite having extensive rainforests, eucalypt forests, and woodlands, possibly because treecreepers are poor fliers and Tasmania had less forest when it became isolated from mainland Australia. Despite its extensive forests, New Guinea only has tree-creepers in some of its mountains. More
