Paladilhiopsis montenegrina
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Paladilhiopsis montenegrina faces severe threats from water pollution and habitat degradation in its limited freshwater spring systems. Urban development and agricultural runoff have contaminated the pristine spring waters essential for this endemic gastropod's survival. The species' extremely restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbances.
Habitat
This endemic freshwater gastropod inhabits pristine spring systems and associated freshwater habitats in Montenegro. The species requires clean, well-oxygenated spring waters with specific mineral compositions and stable temperatures.
