Jasmineira caudata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Jasmineira caudata faces significant pressure from coastal development and tourism infrastructure along its limited range in the Mediterranean. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to shoreline modification and increased human foot traffic. Marine pollution, including plastic debris and chemical runoff, poses additional threats to its shallow water feeding grounds.
Habitat
This marine gastropod inhabits shallow coastal waters and intertidal zones of the Mediterranean Sea, typically found among rocky substrates and seagrass beds. It prefers areas with moderate wave action and clean, well-oxygenated water between 1-15 meters depth.
