Myrmica lemasnei
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Myrmica lemasnei faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized montane environments. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, as warming temperatures may force populations to higher elevations with limited suitable habitat available. Agricultural intensification and infrastructure development in mountain valleys further fragment the already limited habitat patches where this ant species can survive.
Habitat
Myrmica lemasnei inhabits specialized montane grasslands and alpine meadows at high elevations. The species requires specific microhabitat conditions including particular soil types and vegetation communities that support its complex ecological relationships with other invertebrates.
