Lobulosa pollex
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Lobulosa pollex faces significant pressure from coastal development and habitat modification along its restricted range. The species is particularly vulnerable to water quality degradation from agricultural runoff and urban pollution, which affects the delicate chemical balance of its aquatic environment. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and temperature fluctuations that can disrupt its reproductive cycles.
Habitat
Lobulosa pollex inhabits shallow freshwater and brackish water environments along coastal margins, typically in areas with soft sediments and moderate water flow. The species shows preference for habitats with specific salinity gradients and requires stable water chemistry for successful reproduction.
