Gnorimoschema nordlandicolella
Local name: nordlig småstävmal
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Gnorimoschema nordlandicolella faces severe threats from habitat degradation and climate change affecting its specialized Arctic and subarctic environments. The species' limited geographic range in northern Scandinavia makes it particularly vulnerable to warming temperatures that alter the composition of its host plant communities. Agricultural intensification and infrastructure development in coastal areas further fragment its already restricted habitat.
Habitat
This micro-moth inhabits Arctic and subarctic coastal meadows, grasslands, and tundra environments in northern Scandinavia. It is closely associated with specific host plants in these harsh northern ecosystems, requiring undisturbed natural vegetation communities.
