Flavipanurgus granadensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Flavipanurgus granadensis faces severe habitat loss due to agricultural intensification and urban development in the Mediterranean basin. The species' specialized relationship with specific flowering plants makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in vegetation composition caused by altered land management practices. Climate change poses an additional threat through shifts in precipitation patterns that affect the timing and abundance of its preferred host plants.
Habitat
This specialized bee inhabits Mediterranean scrubland, grasslands, and semi-natural areas with diverse flowering plant communities. It shows a strong preference for areas with traditional extensive agriculture and requires specific host plants for pollen collection and nesting sites in sandy or loose soils.
