Magdalis exarata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Magdalis exarata faces significant pressure from habitat degradation and fragmentation of its specialized woodland environments. The species' dependence on specific host trees makes it particularly vulnerable to forest management practices and climate-induced changes in tree species composition. Agricultural expansion and urban development continue to reduce available habitat, while the weevil's limited dispersal ability restricts its capacity to colonize new suitable areas.
Habitat
Magdalis exarata inhabits mature deciduous and mixed forests, particularly those containing its preferred host trees. The species requires well-established woodland ecosystems with appropriate microhabitat conditions for larval development within tree bark and wood.
