Acalles misellus

Unknown

Overview

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

Acalles misellus faces significant pressure from coastal development and tourism infrastructure along its restricted Mediterranean range. The species' dependence on specific salt-tolerant vegetation communities makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat modification and fragmentation. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting coastal dune systems.

Threat summary

Habitat

This weevil inhabits coastal dune systems and sandy areas with sparse, salt-tolerant vegetation along Mediterranean shorelines. It is typically found in association with specific host plants in stabilized dune communities behind the immediate beach zone.
