Phrantela annamurrayae

Unknown

Overview

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

Phrantela annamurrayae faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted range within Australian coastal forests. Urban development and agricultural expansion have fragmented its specialized woodland habitats, while altered fire regimes disrupt the natural ecosystem processes this species depends upon. Climate change poses an additional threat through shifting precipitation patterns that affect the moisture-dependent microhabitats where this species occurs.

Threat summary

Habitat
