Bidens glandulifera
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Bidens glandulifera faces severe population decline due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented and isolated. Invasive plant species compete directly with this endemic Bidens for resources, while climate change alters precipitation patterns critical for its reproductive success.
Habitat
Bidens glandulifera typically inhabits moist, disturbed soils in open areas including grasslands, field margins, and forest clearings. The species shows preference for seasonally wet habitats with moderate disturbance regimes that prevent complete canopy closure.
