Bidens meyeri

Declining

Overview

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

Bidens meyeri faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native habitat. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the wetland and riparian areas where this species typically occurs.

Threat summary
