kustvivel

Bagous claudicans

Unknown

Overview

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

Bagous claudicans faces significant pressure from wetland habitat degradation and loss across its European range. Agricultural intensification and urban development have reduced the availability of suitable aquatic vegetation communities that this specialized weevil depends upon. Water pollution and eutrophication further compromise the quality of remaining habitats, while climate change may alter the distribution and abundance of its host plants.

Threat summary

Habitat

This aquatic weevil inhabits freshwater wetlands, marshes, and slow-flowing waterways with abundant emergent and submerged vegetation. It is particularly associated with areas containing its host plants, typically various aquatic and semi-aquatic plant species where both larvae and adults complete their development.
