Anagastina hadouphylax
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Anagastina hadouphylax 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 environmental changes and human activities. Invasive plant species are altering the native vegetation communities that this species depends upon, while climate change is shifting the suitable habitat zones beyond the species' current range.
Habitat
This species inhabits specialized microhabitats within Mediterranean scrubland and rocky outcrops, typically found in areas with specific soil chemistry and moisture conditions. It requires undisturbed native vegetation communities with particular host plants that are essential for its survival and reproduction.
