Overview

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

Cosmotriche lobulina faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted montane forest range. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have fragmented its specialized moss and lichen microhabitats. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the humid conditions essential for the bryophyte communities this species depends upon.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits humid montane forests where it lives among moss and lichen communities on tree bark and decaying wood. It requires stable microclimatic conditions with high humidity and minimal disturbance to its bryophyte-rich microhabitats.
