Abstract: Data on the activity rhythms and time budgets of Red-bellied Squirrels (Callosciurus erythralus) were collected by infrared cameras between August 2012 and July 2013 in the Forest Dynamics Plot and its surrounding area (Total area 70 ha) in Nonggang National Nature Reserve. We used a relative activity intensity index to analyze the activity rhythms and time budgets of Red-bellied Squirrel, and explore the adaptation strategy to Karst habitat. The results showed that activity rhythm varied significantly over the course of the day (t=7.414, df=13, P=0.003), with two activities peak at 7:00—8:00 and 17:00—18:00. The moving (69.82%) and foraging (21.72%) activity were Red-bellied Squirrel’s mainly behavior. There were significant differences in monthly time budget (t=8.519, df=11, P<0.01), but was no significant difference according to seasons (Z=-1.218, P=0.20). The optimal activities temperature of Red-bellied Squirrels was close to the average temperature in every month, and the activity temperature ranged from 14℃ to 28℃.

Key words: red-bellied squirrels (Callosciurus erythraeus), infrared cameras, activity rhythm, time budget, Karst habitat
