Boucardicus magnilobatus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Boucardicus magnilobatus faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. Deforestation for cattle ranching and crop cultivation has fragmented the remaining forest patches where this species depends for survival. Climate change is altering precipitation patterns in its montane habitat, affecting the microclimate conditions essential for its reproductive success.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters. It requires dense canopy cover and high humidity levels, typically found in undisturbed primary forest with rich leaf litter and abundant epiphytic vegetation.
