Moserius percoi
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Moserius percoi faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its limited Mediterranean range, particularly through coastal development and tourism infrastructure expansion. Agricultural intensification and the introduction of invasive plant species have further reduced the quality of its specialized habitat requirements. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency, which directly impacts the soil moisture conditions this species depends upon.
Habitat
This species inhabits Mediterranean coastal areas, typically found in sandy soils and scrubland environments with specific moisture and vegetation requirements. It occurs in areas with sparse vegetation cover and well-drained substrates, often in proximity to coastal dune systems.
