mindre ringhornsharkrank
Tipula zonaria
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Tipula zonaria faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized wetland environments, where drainage for agriculture and urban development has reduced suitable breeding sites. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moisture levels critical for larval development in soil and leaf litter. Pollution from agricultural runoff and pesticide use in surrounding areas further compromises the quality of remaining habitats.
Habitat
This crane fly species inhabits moist woodland edges, wetland margins, and areas with rich organic soil where larvae develop in decomposing leaf litter and saturated substrates. Adults are typically found near streams, marshes, and other water sources during their brief reproductive period.
