Entoloma plebejum

Entoloma plebejum faces severe decline due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development, which destroys the nutrient-poor grasslands it requires. Climate change and nitrogen deposition further threaten remaining populations by altering soil chemistry and grassland composition.

Gobulus birdsongi

The Fin-joined Goby faces severe threats primarily from habitat degradation and loss of its specialized coral reef environment in the Caribbean. Climate change-induced coral bleaching, coastal development, and water pollution are rapidly destroying the limited reef habitats this endemic species depends on for survival.

Bolitoglossa medemi

The Finca Chibigui Salamander faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and deforestation in its extremely limited range in Colombia. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its small population size and restricted distribution, making it highly susceptible to local extinctions from human activities and environmental changes.

Couratari guianensis

Festuca filiformis

Oenanthe aquatica

Fine-leaved Water-dropwort faces severe decline primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of wetland ecosystems. The species is particularly vulnerable to drainage of marshes, water pollution, and changes in water levels that affect its specialized aquatic habitat requirements.

Ophiactis balli

Arctoparmelia incurva

Finger Ring Lichen (Arctoparmelia incurva) is critically endangered primarily due to its extremely limited distribution and vulnerability to habitat degradation. The species faces severe threats from air pollution, climate change, and human disturbance to its specialized rocky substrate habitats. Its slow growth rate and specific ecological requirements make recovery particularly challenging.

Carex digitata

Fingered Sedge faces severe threats from habitat destruction and fragmentation of its specialized woodland environments, particularly due to intensive forestry practices and agricultural conversion. Climate change is altering the delicate moisture and temperature conditions required by this species, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native habitats.

Veronica triphyllos

Fingered Speedwell (Veronica triphyllos) is critically endangered primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development, which has eliminated much of its preferred sandy, disturbed ground habitat. The species is also threatened by changes in land management practices that reduce the availability of suitable early successional habitats and increased competition from invasive plant species.

Puccinia arctica

Stellaria fennica

Stellaria fennica faces severe threats primarily from habitat loss due to agricultural intensification and urban development in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it highly vulnerable to local environmental changes and human activities. Climate change may further exacerbate these pressures by altering suitable habitat conditions.

Hieracium caespiticola

Rubus decurrentispinus

Faerberia carbonaria

Unable to verify species existence

Araniella alpica

Sericoda quadripunctata

Sericoda quadripunctata faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development in its specialized wetland environments. Climate change is altering the hydrology of its preferred habitats, while pollution from agricultural runoff degrades water quality in remaining suitable areas.

Capito quinticolor

Zygaena trifolii

The Five-spot Burnet (Zygaena trifolii) faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation of its specialized coastal grassland and dune ecosystems. Agricultural intensification, coastal development, and changes in traditional grazing management have eliminated or degraded much of its remaining habitat, while climate change poses additional pressures on this already restricted species.

Tilopteris mertensii

Echinocardium pennatifidum

Echinocardium pennatifidum faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat degradation from coastal development, pollution, and climate change impacts on marine ecosystems. Bottom trawling and other destructive fishing practices have significantly damaged the sandy and muddy seafloor habitats where this species burrows.

Monochroa saltenella

Sophronia gelidella

Agonopterix broennoeensis

Lasioglossum boreale

Bembidion dauricum

Trematodon brevicollis

Ochrolechia frigida

Ochrolechia frigida is declining primarily due to climate change impacts on its specialized Arctic and alpine habitats. Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns are altering the delicate environmental conditions this cold-adapted lichen requires for survival and reproduction.

Walckenaeria stylifrons

Walckenaeria stylifrons faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat destruction and fragmentation of its specialized wetland environments. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and changes in water management practices have significantly reduced the availability of suitable microhabitats this small spider requires for survival.

Sitona macularius

Euroleon nostras

Phaeocedus braccatus

Phaeocedus braccatus faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' highly specialized habitat requirements and small population size make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance.

Cnemidocarpa devia

Margarinotus purpurascens

Bacidia friesiana

Discelium nudum

Collema flaccidum

Flaking Tarpaper Lichen (Collema flaccidum) is critically endangered primarily due to habitat loss and degradation from urban development, agricultural expansion, and infrastructure projects that destroy the specific rock substrates it requires. Air pollution, particularly nitrogen deposition and acid rain, severely impacts this sensitive lichen species by altering its chemical environment and disrupting symbiotic relationships.

Urera caracasana

Lepyrium showalterii

Sphagnum platyphyllum

Nomada obtusifrons

Blysmus compressus

Psilotum complanatum

The Flatfork Fern faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while its specialized habitat requirements limit opportunities for natural recolonization.

Paramuricea placomus

The flattened sea fan coral faces severe population declines primarily due to climate change impacts including ocean warming and acidification, which cause coral bleaching and reduced calcification rates. Additional pressures from fishing activities, coastal development, and pollution further compromise the survival of remaining populations in the Mediterranean Sea.

Carex pulicaris

Flea Sedge (Carex pulicaris) is critically endangered primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized wetland environments. The species requires specific hydrological conditions in calcareous fens and wet meadows, which have been severely reduced through drainage, agricultural intensification, and changes in land management practices.

Nemotelus notatus

The Flecked Snout (Nemotelus notatus) is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of wetland environments where its larvae develop. Agricultural intensification, drainage of wetlands, and water pollution from agricultural runoff have significantly reduced suitable breeding sites for this specialized soldier fly species.

Psammotettix sabulicola

Ostrinia quadripunctalis

Ostrinia quadripunctalis faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urbanization across its European range. The species is particularly vulnerable to changes in traditional farming practices and the loss of semi-natural grasslands where its host plants occur.

Phalacrocorax harrisi

Riccia fluitans

Floating Crystalwort (Riccia fluitans) faces severe decline due to widespread habitat destruction and degradation of freshwater ecosystems. Water pollution, eutrophication, and drainage of wetlands have eliminated many suitable aquatic habitats where this bryophyte species once thrived.
