Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

The naken barkbock faces severe population declines due to widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its range. Climate change is altering the composition of coniferous forests, while intensive forestry practices remove the dead and dying trees essential for larval development.

Threat summary

Habitat

Mature coniferous and mixed forests, particularly those with abundant dead or dying spruce, pine, and fir trees that provide breeding substrates. The species requires forests with natural disturbance regimes that create the deadwood microhabitats essential for larval development.
