Eremotylus marginatus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eremotylus marginatus faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its restricted Andean range. Mining activities and infrastructure development further fragment its already limited habitat, while climate change threatens to shift suitable elevation zones beyond the species' adaptive capacity.
Habitat
This species inhabits high-altitude Andean grasslands and páramo ecosystems, typically found in rocky outcrops and steep slopes between 3,000-4,500 meters elevation. It requires well-drained soils and specialized microhabitats within the harsh montane environment.
