Nomada noskiewiczi
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Nomada noskiewiczi faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development across its limited European range. The species' specialized parasitic relationship with specific host bee species makes it particularly vulnerable to disruptions in pollinator communities. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering flowering patterns and potentially disrupting the synchronization between this cuckoo bee and its hosts.
Habitat
This cuckoo bee species inhabits open grasslands, meadows, and forest edges where its host bee species nest, particularly areas with diverse wildflower communities. It requires proximity to sandy or loose soil substrates where ground-nesting bees establish their colonies.
