noordse strekspin
Tetragnatha dearmata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
The noordse strekspin faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized wetland environments, particularly through drainage and modification of marshes and bog edges. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the hydrological conditions essential for maintaining the specific moisture levels this species requires. Agricultural intensification and urban development continue to fragment and reduce the quality of remaining suitable habitats across its limited range.
Habitat
This specialized orb weaver spider inhabits the margins of wetlands, particularly favoring the transition zones between open water and terrestrial vegetation in marshes, fens, and bog edges. It constructs its webs in tall grasses and sedges that grow in consistently moist conditions, requiring specific microhabitat conditions with stable water levels.
