Bidens lantanoides

Unknown

Overview

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

Bidens lantanoides faces severe population decline primarily 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. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moist conditions this species requires for reproduction and survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

Bidens lantanoides typically inhabits moist, disturbed soils along forest edges, stream banks, and wetland margins in tropical and subtropical regions. The species shows preference for areas with partial shade and consistent moisture availability, often colonizing recently disturbed sites with exposed mineral soil.
