Meistera calcarata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Meistera calcarata faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted montane forest range. Deforestation and agricultural expansion into higher elevations have fragmented its specialized habitat, while climate change threatens to shift suitable temperature and moisture conditions beyond the species' adaptive capacity. The limited geographic distribution makes populations particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances and extreme weather events.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane forests and cloud forest environments at moderate to high elevations. It requires specific microclimate conditions with consistent moisture levels and temperature ranges typical of tropical mountain ecosystems.
