Mauria trichothyrsa
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Mauria trichothyrsa faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agriculture and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting its specialized forest ecosystem requirements.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forest environments, typically occurring at elevations between 1,500-2,800 meters. It requires well-preserved forest canopy with high moisture levels and specific microclimate conditions found in undisturbed tropical mountain ecosystems.
