Codringtonia eucineta
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Codringtonia eucineta faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its limited Mediterranean range. Urban development and agricultural intensification have reduced available suitable habitat, while climate change poses additional stress through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moisture-dependent environments this land snail requires. Collection pressure for the shell trade has historically impacted some populations, though this threat has diminished in recent decades.
Habitat
This terrestrial gastropod inhabits rocky limestone areas, stone walls, and Mediterranean scrubland environments. It requires areas with adequate moisture retention and calcium-rich substrates typical of Mediterranean coastal and inland regions.
