Overview

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

Kärrsvartvivel faces severe habitat degradation due to wetland drainage and agricultural intensification across Scandinavia. The species' specialized dependence on specific sedge communities makes it particularly vulnerable to hydrological changes and eutrophication from agricultural runoff. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate water balance of its marsh habitats.

Threat summary

Habitat

This specialized weevil inhabits nutrient-poor wetlands, particularly sedge-dominated marshes and fens in Scandinavia. It requires specific microhabitat conditions with stable water levels and undisturbed sedge communities for both feeding and reproduction.
