Anisophyllea myriostictoides

Unknown

Overview

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

Anisophyllea myriostictoides faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets the mature forest canopy where this tree species typically establishes. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns essential for seedling establishment and survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests, typically found in the understory and middle canopy of primary and mature secondary forests. It occurs in areas with consistent moisture and well-drained soils, generally below 500 meters elevation.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Anisophyllea myriostictoides classified as Endangered?
Anisophyllea myriostictoides is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Anisophyllea myriostictoides faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets the mature forest canopy where this tree species typically establishes. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns essential for seedling establishment and survival.
Where does Anisophyllea myriostictoides live?
Anisophyllea myriostictoides occurs in Gabon. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Anisophyllea myriostictoides?
The main threats to Anisophyllea myriostictoides are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
