Philonesia filiceti
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Philonesia filiceti faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its limited montane forest range. Deforestation and agricultural expansion have fragmented the cloud forest ecosystems this species depends upon. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture regimes essential for the humid microhabitats where this species thrives.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forest environments, typically found in areas with consistent moisture and dense vegetation cover. It requires specific microhabitat conditions within these forest ecosystems, particularly areas with high humidity and organic matter accumulation.
