Islamia coronadoi

UnknownDDEUDDEU

Overview

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

Islamia coronadoi is a freshwater spring-dwelling snail known only from a small number of hydrological sites in Spain, making it extremely vulnerable to any disruption of its groundwater-fed habitat. Declines in spring discharge from aquifer over-extraction for agriculture and domestic use directly threaten the microhabitat this species depends on for survival. Because its range is restricted to one or a few springs, localized pollution, siltation, or water table drops could eliminate the species entirely, consistent with its Critically Endangered classification.

Threat summary

Habitat

Islamia coronadoi inhabits small freshwater springs and spring-fed watercourses, relying on clean, consistently flowing groundwater for its highly localized and specialized microhabitat.
