Geastrum minimum

Myosurus minimus

Philine punctata

Eleocharis parvula

Microcaecilia albiceps

Physogyra lichtensteini

Xenodacnis parina

Boloria titania

Titania's Fritillary faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural expansion and climate change impacts on its specialized alpine and subalpine environments. The species' dependence on specific host plants and narrow elevational ranges makes it particularly vulnerable to warming temperatures that force populations upslope into increasingly fragmented habitat patches.

Caryocolum amaurella

Hieracium succulentifolium

Hieracium succulentifolium faces severe threats from habitat destruction and fragmentation due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature increases that affect the specialized rocky habitats this species requires. The species' extremely restricted distribution and small population size make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions.

Solenopsis fugax

The thief ant (Solenopsis fugax) faces severe population declines due to habitat destruction from urbanization and intensive agriculture, which eliminates the specific soil conditions and host ant colonies it depends upon. Climate change and pesticide use further threaten remaining populations by disrupting the delicate ecological relationships this specialized parasitic species requires for survival.

Calophasia lunula

Helvella bicolor

Leptotila conoveri

Taeromys taerae

Cortinarius turgidus

Stagonomus bipunctatus

Stagonomus bipunctatus faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development across its range. The species' specialized feeding requirements on specific host plants make it particularly vulnerable to changes in vegetation composition and pesticide use in agricultural landscapes.

Spatangus raschi

The toppig sjömus faces severe population declines due to bottom trawling activities that destroy its fragile seafloor habitat and directly harm individuals. Climate change-induced ocean warming and acidification further threaten this species by altering sediment chemistry and reducing food availability in its specialized deep-water environment.

Titanoeca nivalis

Nomada roberjeotiana

Arthonia ilicina

Merganetta armata

Cortinarius chrysolitus

Geoglossum glabrum

Russula robertii

Pardosa sphagnicola

The primary threats include habitat destruction from peat extraction and wetland drainage for development, which directly eliminates the specialized bog ecosystems this spider requires. Climate change and altered hydrology further degrade remaining habitats by changing water levels and vegetation composition in bog systems.

Satilatlas britteni

Gnaphosa nigerrima

Carorita limnaea

Rhizocarpon bolanderi

Rhizocarpon bolanderi faces severe threats from air pollution, particularly nitrogen deposition and acid rain, which alter the chemistry of its rocky substrates and disrupt its slow-growing lichen physiology. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature extremes that affect the delicate moisture balance required for this species' survival. Habitat destruction from quarrying, development, and recreational activities further fragments its already limited populations on specialized rock surfaces.

Nebrioporus depressus

Briza media

Abramites eques

Scleropodium touretii

Touret's Scleropodium Moss faces severe threats from habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized Mediterranean coastal environments. Urban development, tourism infrastructure, and climate change-induced alterations to moisture regimes pose significant risks to this endemic species with extremely limited distribution.

Cladonia bellidiflora

Toy Soldiers lichen faces severe threats from habitat degradation due to air pollution, acid rain, and climate change affecting the specific microenvironments it requires. Urban development and industrial activities have significantly reduced suitable habitat, while the species' slow growth rate and sensitivity to environmental changes make recovery extremely difficult.

Trechispora silvae-ryae

Byssoloma marginatum

Chara filiformis

Chara filiformis faces severe threats from habitat degradation and water quality deterioration in its freshwater environments. Eutrophication from agricultural runoff and urban pollution has dramatically reduced suitable habitat, while climate change-induced alterations to water chemistry and temperature further compromise this sensitive aquatic macrophyte's survival.

Myrmica schencki

Hypericum humifusum

Sticta fuliginoides

Sticta fuliginoides faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and forest fragmentation, which eliminates the old-growth forest conditions essential for this epiphytic lichen. Air pollution and climate change further compromise its survival by altering the specific microclimate conditions and air quality requirements necessary for photosynthetic symbiosis.

Panaeolus guttulatus

Sorubim cuspicaudus

Nitella translucens

Dichodontium pellucidum

Acarospora anomala

Catapyrenium psoromoides

Menegazzia subsimilis

Ptilidium pulcherrimum

Tree Fringewort faces severe threats from habitat loss due to deforestation, air pollution, and climate change impacts on its specialized bryophyte communities. This delicate liverwort is highly sensitive to environmental changes and requires very specific microhabitat conditions that are increasingly rare and fragmented.

Hipparchia statilinus

The Tree Grayling faces severe population declines across its range due to habitat destruction and fragmentation of its specialized woodland environments. Climate change and increased frequency of wildfires pose additional threats to remaining populations, while the species' limited dispersal ability makes recovery from local extinctions extremely difficult.
