Bulimulus jervisensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Bulimulus jervisensis faces severe pressure from invasive plant species that alter its native habitat structure and reduce available food sources. The species' extremely limited range on Rábida Island makes it particularly vulnerable to stochastic events and environmental changes. Introduced mammals and other non-native species continue to degrade the fragile island ecosystem upon which this endemic snail depends.
Habitat
This endemic land snail inhabits the arid coastal vegetation and rocky outcrops of Rábida Island in the Galápagos archipelago. It occupies areas with sparse shrubland and cacti, typically found among leaf litter and under rocks in the island's distinctive red-soiled landscape.
