Dulacia singularis

Declining

Overview

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

Dulacia singularis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional threats to the specialized forest ecosystems this species requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

Dulacia singularis inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests in the Amazon Basin, typically found in the understory and mid-canopy layers. The species shows preference for areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity levels characteristic of undisturbed Amazonian forest ecosystems.
