Licania arianeae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Licania arianeae faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development further threaten the integrity of its remaining habitat, while the species' apparent rarity suggests it may have specific ecological requirements that are being disrupted by human activities.
Habitat
This species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments in southeastern Brazil, typically occurring in humid lowland and montane forests. It appears to prefer well-preserved forest areas with intact canopy structure and may be associated with specific soil or microclimate conditions.
