Bembidion dauricum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Bembidion dauricum faces severe habitat degradation from climate change-induced warming in its alpine and subalpine environments. The species' specialized cold-adapted physiology makes it particularly vulnerable to rising temperatures that alter the microclimate conditions of its rocky, high-elevation habitats. Infrastructure development and increased human activity in mountain regions further fragment its already limited suitable habitat.
Habitat
This ground beetle inhabits alpine and subalpine environments, typically found under stones and in rocky crevices at high elevations in mountainous regions. It requires cool, moist microhabitats with stable temperature conditions characteristic of northern European and Scandinavian mountain ecosystems.
