Minotauria fagei
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Minotauria fagei faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in Mediterranean coastal regions. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to land-use changes, while its small, fragmented populations are susceptible to local extinctions from extreme weather events and human disturbance.
Habitat
This species inhabits Mediterranean scrubland and rocky coastal areas with sparse vegetation, typically found in limestone substrates with specific microclimate conditions. It requires undisturbed areas with particular moisture and temperature regimes that are increasingly rare due to human activities.
