In order to understand the distribution patterns and habitat status of Symmaticus ellioti in Lushan Nature Reserve, MaxEnt model was used to evaluate its habitat suitability based on the data of infrared camera monitoring and envi.ronmental variables from 2017 to 2023. The results showed that the sub-suitable and suitable habitat areas of s, ellioti inLushan Nature Reserve were 794 hm' and 3 356 hm',respectively,constituting 3. 95% and 16.68% of the total reserve ar.ca. The primary environmental factors influencing habitat suitability are altitude and vegetation type. S. ellioti tends to fa.yor high-altitude coniferous and mixed broad leaved forests, situated on gentle,shady slopes near water sourees and locatedaway from residential areas and roads. This study proposes management strategies to enhance the control of human dis.turbances,establish ecological corridors and implement specialized monitoring.
