Noorse zakspin

Clubiona norvegica

Unknown

Overview

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

Clubiona norvegica faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized coastal environments. Climate change poses a particular threat through rising sea levels and increased storm intensity, which can destroy the fragile dune and saltmarsh ecosystems this species depends upon. Coastal development and tourism infrastructure further fragment its already limited habitat range along northern European coastlines.

Threat summary
