Vertigo antivertigo

The Marsh Whorl Snail faces severe threats from wetland habitat destruction and degradation due to agricultural conversion, urban development, and drainage of marshes and fens. Climate change-induced alterations to water levels and increased frequency of extreme weather events further threaten the specialized calcareous wetland environments this species requires. Pollution from agricultural runoff and invasive plant species that alter habitat structure compound these pressures on remaining populations.

Galium palustre

Marsh-bedstraw faces severe threats from widespread wetland habitat destruction and degradation due to agricultural conversion, urban development, and water management practices. Climate change is altering precipitation patterns and water levels in remaining marsh habitats, while pollution from agricultural runoff and invasive species competition further compromise the specialized wetland ecosystems this species depends upon.

Aristolochia pentandra

Irpiciporus pachyodon

The Marshmallow Polypore faces severe threats from widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its range, particularly affecting the old-growth forests it depends upon for suitable host trees. Climate change is altering forest composition and moisture regimes critical for this fungal species, while increased human development continues to reduce available habitat.

Trox hispidus

Trox hispidus faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural expansion and urbanization, which destroys the specific microhabitats required for its carrion-dependent lifecycle. The species' specialized feeding requirements on animal carcasses make it particularly vulnerable to changes in land use patterns and the widespread use of veterinary pharmaceuticals that contaminate its food sources.

Pouteria andarahiensis

Stenostola ferrea

Mat lindebuk faces severe population declines due to widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its range. The species' dependence on specific host trees makes it particularly vulnerable to logging activities and agricultural conversion, while its limited dispersal ability prevents recolonization of degraded areas.

Odontoschisma denudatum

Peltigera malacea

Nomada opaca

Poecilus punctulatus

Matt sollöpare faces severe population declines due to intensive agricultural practices and habitat degradation across its range. The species is particularly vulnerable to pesticide use and the conversion of traditional agricultural landscapes to intensive monocultures, which eliminate the diverse microhabitats essential for its survival.

Loxops ochraceus

The Maui Akepa faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and conversion of native forests for agriculture and development. Introduced diseases, particularly avian malaria and pox transmitted by non-native mosquitoes, have devastated populations, while invasive plant species continue to degrade remaining forest habitats.

Hemignathus affinis

The Maui Nukupuu faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and agricultural conversion of native Hawaiian forests. Introduced diseases like avian malaria and pox, spread by non-native mosquitoes, have devastated populations, while invasive plant species continue to degrade remaining habitat quality.

Calamagrostis expansa

Cnephasia communana

Pseudorabdion mcnamarae

Hordeum secalinum

Bromus commutatus

Salvia pratensis

Elachista triatomea

Anthus pratensis

Cirsium dissectum

Meadow Thistle faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat loss from agricultural intensification and drainage of wetland areas. The species' specialized requirements for nutrient-poor, wet grasslands make it particularly vulnerable to changes in land management practices and hydrological conditions.

Cortinarius caerulescens

Ossicaulis lignatilis

Hydnellum ferrugineum

Eriophorum medium

Camarhynchus pauper

The Medium Tree Finch faces severe threats primarily from invasive parasites, habitat degradation, and extremely limited range. The species is critically endangered due to the devastating impact of the introduced parasitic fly Philornis downsi, which kills nestlings, combined with habitat loss from invasive plant species and human activities on its restricted range in the Galápagos Islands.

Psathyrella caput-medusae

Epirrhoe pupillata

Trichoglossum variabile

Salvelinus grayi

Melvin charr faces severe threats from habitat degradation, invasive species introductions, and climate change impacts on cold-water lake ecosystems. The species' restricted range and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human activities affecting pristine alpine and subarctic lake systems.

Luciobarbus kottelati

Russula albonigra

Metaneckera menziesii

Menzies' metaneckera moss faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and urban development in its limited range. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature shifts that affect the specific moisture conditions this moss requires for survival.

Heliangelus spencei

Anisoptera megistocarpa

Mersawa Merah faces severe population decline due to extensive logging and deforestation throughout its range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' valuable timber has made it a primary target for commercial exploitation, while agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations continue to fragment and destroy its remaining habitat.

Pristimantis frater

Agabus congener

Larus canus

The Mew Gull faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from coastal development, pollution of marine and freshwater environments, and climate change impacts on breeding and feeding areas. Disturbance at nesting colonies and reduced prey availability from overfishing and ecosystem changes further threaten remaining populations. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority.

Calypogeia integristipula

Gigasiphon humblotianum

Hydnotrya michaelis

Midia midas

The Midas Tree-weaver faces severe population declines due to widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range. Climate change is altering precipitation patterns critical for the specialized forest ecosystems this species depends on, while invasive species compete for nesting sites and food resources.

Coprinus sterquilinus

Idiostatus middlekauffi

Middlekauf's Shieldback Katydid faces severe threats from habitat loss and fragmentation due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited California range. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and human activities.

Scarus coelestinus

Ozyptila scabricula

Pimelodus coprophagus

Helvella lactea

Conocybe apala
