Imnadia panonica

Unknown

Overview

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

Imnadia panonica faces severe threats from the destruction and degradation of temporary wetland habitats across its European range. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and altered hydrological regimes have eliminated many of the seasonal pools and temporary water bodies essential for this clam shrimp's reproduction and survival. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering precipitation patterns and increasing drought frequency, which can disrupt the delicate timing of pool formation and drying cycles that the species depends upon.

Threat summary

Habitat

Imnadia panonica inhabits temporary freshwater pools, seasonal wetlands, and ephemeral water bodies that fill during rainy periods and dry out seasonally. These shallow, temporary aquatic habitats are typically found in grasslands, agricultural areas, and floodplains across central and eastern Europe.
