Linochilus frontinensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Linochilus frontinensis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development within its restricted range in the Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting dispersal opportunities. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance in its remaining forest fragments.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments in southeastern Brazil, typically found in humid montane forests with dense canopy cover. It requires specific microhabitat conditions including leaf litter layers and stable moisture levels characteristic of undisturbed forest ecosystems.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Linochilus frontinensis classified as Endangered?
Linochilus frontinensis is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Linochilus frontinensis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development within its restricted range in the Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting dispersal opportunities. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance in its remaining forest fragments.
Where does Linochilus frontinensis live?
Linochilus frontinensis occurs in Colombia. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Linochilus frontinensis?
The main threats to Linochilus frontinensis are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
