Anagastina gluhodolica

Declining

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Anagastina gluhodolica faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to limestone quarrying and mining activities in its restricted range. Urban development and infrastructure expansion have further fragmented its already limited cave and karst habitat. The species' extremely narrow distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to any localized disturbances or environmental changes.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic gastropod inhabits limestone caves and karst formations in the Dinaric Alps region. It is specifically adapted to the humid, stable microclimate conditions found within cave systems and associated underground habitats.
