Dolichopus calinotus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Dolichopus calinotus faces severe habitat degradation due to agricultural intensification and urban development within its limited range. The species' specialized requirements for specific moisture levels and vegetation structure make it particularly vulnerable to land-use changes. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate ecological conditions this fly species depends upon.
Habitat
This long-legged fly species inhabits specialized wetland margins and moist grassland areas with specific vegetation structure requirements. It typically occurs in areas with consistent moisture levels and particular plant communities that support its prey species and breeding requirements.
