Lanzaia kotlusae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Lanzaia kotlusae faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its limited range within the Carpathian Mountains. Urban development and infrastructure expansion have fragmented its specialized forest habitats, while climate change is altering the moisture and temperature conditions essential for this species' survival. Agricultural intensification in surrounding areas has further reduced available habitat corridors.
Habitat
This species inhabits specialized montane forest ecosystems in the Carpathian Mountains, typically found in areas with specific moisture and temperature requirements. It occupies forest floor microhabitats and adjacent woodland edges at elevations between 800-1,500 meters.
