Jardinella colmani

Unknown

Overview

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

Jardinella colmani faces severe threats from groundwater extraction and agricultural development in its limited range around artesian springs in Queensland's Great Artesian Basin. The species' dependence on specific hydrogeological conditions makes it extremely vulnerable to water table changes and spring flow alterations. Introduced species and habitat modification from cattle grazing further compound pressures on this endemic freshwater gastropod.
