Chomelia tristis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Chomelia tristis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest region. Deforestation for sugarcane cultivation and pasture development has fragmented its habitat into isolated patches. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce available forest cover, while the species' apparent specialization for specific forest conditions makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat degradation.
Habitat
This species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments in southeastern Brazil, typically found in humid lowland and montane forests. It appears to prefer well-preserved forest areas with dense canopy cover and may be associated with specific soil or microclimate conditions.
