Fragmentation of the continuous tropical forest-scape into isolated remnant forest patches among seas of human influenced alternative landscapes is a widespread pantropical phenomenon compounded by the emerging impacts of global climate change events (Loo et al. 2011). Sri Lanka, with exceptionally rich biodiversity, particularly in its aseasonal south-western sector, is no exception to this alarming trend, acknowledged as such by declaring the island together with Western Ghats of India as one of 34 global hotspots of biodiversity (Mittermeier et al. 2004).
