Duguetia microphylla

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Duguetia microphylla faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching throughout its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. The species' small, fragmented populations are particularly vulnerable to habitat conversion, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development further compound these pressures, while the species' apparent rarity makes it susceptible to local extinctions from even small-scale disturbances.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically occurring in humid lowland and montane forests with well-developed canopy structure. It appears to prefer areas with rich, organic soils and consistent moisture levels characteristic of mature forest ecosystems.
