kamelgrenvivel

Acalles camelus

Unknown

Overview

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

The kamelgrenvivel faces severe pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted range within the Canary Islands. Agricultural expansion and urban development have fragmented the native laurel forest ecosystems this weevil depends upon. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moisture-dependent vegetation communities essential for the species' survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic weevil inhabits the humid laurel forests (laurisilva) of the Canary Islands, particularly areas with dense understory vegetation and high moisture levels. The species is closely associated with specific host plants within these ancient forest ecosystems that require consistent humidity and protection from direct sunlight.
