Allochrusa takhtajanii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Allochrusa takhtajanii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change poses additional pressure on its specialized habitat requirements. Overgrazing by livestock has degraded much of its remaining habitat, reducing available growing sites.
Habitat
This species inhabits rocky slopes and alpine meadows in mountainous regions, typically growing in well-drained soils at high elevations. It requires specific microhabitat conditions with adequate moisture and protection from extreme weather events.
