Eugenia hexovulata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia hexovulata faces severe threats from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation in its restricted range within Brazil's Atlantic Forest. Urban expansion and agricultural conversion continue to reduce the already limited forest patches where this endemic species survives. The species' extremely small population size makes it highly vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.
Habitat
This endemic Brazilian species inhabits remnant patches of Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica), typically in lowland and submontane forest environments. It occurs in both primary and secondary forest formations within its highly restricted geographic range.
