Amplirhagada questroana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Amplirhagada questroana faces severe threats from habitat degradation caused by cattle trampling and grazing in its restricted limestone cave and rock crevice environments. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while introduced vegetation and altered fire regimes further compromise the integrity of its specialized microhabitats.
Habitat
This endemic land snail inhabits limestone caves, rock crevices, and associated scree slopes in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The species requires specific microclimate conditions found in these rocky refugia, particularly stable humidity levels and protection from extreme temperatures.
