Cochliopina milleri
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cochliopina milleri faces severe threats from habitat degradation and water quality deterioration in its limited freshwater spring environments. Urban development and agricultural runoff have contaminated the pristine spring systems this endemic gastropod depends upon. The species' extremely restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, with pollution and groundwater extraction posing ongoing risks to remaining populations.
Habitat
This freshwater gastropod is endemic to pristine spring systems and associated shallow pools with consistent water flow and temperature. It requires clean, well-oxygenated water with specific mineral compositions typical of natural spring environments.
