Anagastina matjasici
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Anagastina matjasici faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to limestone quarrying and urban development in its restricted karst cave systems. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial activities threatens the delicate cave ecosystem chemistry essential for its survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits deep limestone cave systems and underground karst formations in the Dinaric Alps region. It requires stable cave environments with specific humidity and temperature conditions typical of subterranean ecosystems.
