Manota unifurcata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Manota unifurcata faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in tropical montane forests. The species' dependence on specific microhabitat conditions within old-growth forest ecosystems makes it particularly vulnerable to logging activities and agricultural conversion. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures may force this montane specialist to higher elevations where suitable habitat becomes increasingly scarce.
Habitat
This fungus gnat species inhabits tropical montane forests, typically found in humid, shaded environments with dense canopy cover and rich organic matter. It appears to require specific microhabitat conditions associated with undisturbed old-growth forest ecosystems at higher elevations.
