[3] However, subsequent studies conducted in 2017 by a team of researchers led by Myron Shekelle in the Nantu Wildlife Reserve in Gorontalo, Sulawesi later described a local population of spectral tarsiers found in the area with a distinct acoustic duet call between males and females.
[5] In the wild, it inhabits tropical rainforests, preferring to nest in dense clusters of vegetation, such as on palm and bamboo trees from the Arecaceae and Poaceae plant families respectively.
[6] Jatna's tarsiers are fully carnivorous, feeding mostly on insects like moths and crickets, and small vertebrates like lizards and frogs.
[2] Jatna's tarsiers mostly live in monogamous pairs, and as nocturnal creatures, they perform territorial duet calls near dawn before returning to their nesting sites.
[4] As of the latest assessments in 2020, Jatna's tarsiers have been classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, with a decreasing population in the wild.
