Jardinella corrugata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Jardinella corrugata faces significant threats from habitat degradation and water quality changes in its restricted spring-fed environments. Urban development and agricultural activities in the surrounding catchment areas have altered natural water flow patterns and introduced pollutants that affect the delicate aquatic ecosystems this species depends upon. The species' extremely limited distribution makes entire populations vulnerable to single disturbance events.
Habitat
This freshwater gastropod is endemic to spring-fed pools and slow-flowing streams in southeastern Queensland, Australia. It inhabits shallow, clear waters with sandy or muddy substrates, typically in areas with emergent vegetation and stable water temperatures.
