Morphological evidence suggests that Grandidier's tufted-tailed rat is most closely related to Petter's tufted-tailed rat, E. petteri.[2] However, Grandidier's tufted-tailed rat is the smaller of the two species. Distribution and rangeGrandidier's tufted-tailed rat is endemic to Madagascar.[1] It normally lives in middle to upper montane forests between the heights of {{convert|1250|and|1875|m|ft|abbr=on}}.[2] It resides in both the Northern Highlands and the northern part of the Central Highlands in eastern Madagascar.[2] Habitat and ecologyGrandidier's tufted-tailed rat is present in sclerophyllous forest and is presumed to be a partly scansorial species.[1] The species is forest depended and has not been captured outside of forest or in alpine grasslands, though it may occur just below the tree line.[1] Female Grandidier's tufted-tailed rats are believed to give birth to up to three young.[1] Conservation statusGrandidier's tufted-tailed rat is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List due to its widely dispersed localities.[1] The population trend of the species, however, is unknown.[1] There is deforestation in the habitat of the Grandidier's tufted-tailed rat for conversion to cultivated land, but there is not enough population loss from this deforestation for the species to be listed as more threatened.[1] There is sufficient evidence that all species from the family Nesomyidae, especially those that commonly live upwards of {{convert|800|m|ft|abbr=on}}, are susceptible to a 100 percent mortality rate from plagues carried by introduced rodents, and these seem to be localized events.[1] The species is located in three protected areas: the Anjanaharibe-Sud and Manongarivo Special Reserves and the Marojejy National Park.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{IUCN2012.2|assessor=Goodman, S.|assessor2=Rakotondravony, D.|last-assessor-amp=yes |year=2008 |id=29460 |title=Eliurus grandidieri |downloaded=25 April 2013}} {{Nesomyidae nav}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q3305799}}2. ^1 2 {{MSW3 Muroidea | id = 13000124 | page = 949}} 2 : Mammals described in 1998|Eliurus |
