Ocellularia auberianoides
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ocellularia auberianoides faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat degradation across its limited range in tropical rainforests. As a crustose lichen species with specific substrate requirements, it is particularly vulnerable to changes in forest microclimate and air quality. Urban expansion and agricultural conversion continue to fragment its remaining habitat, while climate change may alter the humid conditions essential for its survival.
Habitat
This crustose lichen species inhabits the bark of trees in humid tropical rainforests, typically found in undisturbed primary forest environments. It requires specific microclimate conditions including high humidity, stable temperatures, and clean air quality to establish and maintain viable populations.
