Beddomeia phasianella

Unknown

Overview

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

Beddomeia phasianella faces significant threats from habitat degradation due to agricultural runoff and sedimentation in its freshwater spring environments. Water extraction and flow modification for agricultural and urban development have altered the delicate hydrological conditions these endemic Tasmanian hydrobiid snails require. Climate change poses an additional risk through altered precipitation patterns that could affect spring flow regimes and water quality in their restricted range.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits freshwater springs and spring-fed streams in Tasmania, typically in areas with clean, well-oxygenated water and stable flow regimes. It is endemic to specific spring systems where it lives among aquatic vegetation and substrate in cool, permanent water bodies.
