Phyllodrepa salicis

Unknown

Overview

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

Phyllodrepa salicis faces severe population decline primarily due to the destruction and fragmentation of its specialized riparian woodland habitats. Urban development and agricultural expansion have eliminated many of the mature willow and poplar stands this beetle depends upon for breeding and feeding. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered flooding patterns that disrupt the natural regeneration cycles of its host trees.

Threat summary

Habitat

This specialized beetle inhabits riparian woodlands dominated by willow (Salix) and poplar species along river valleys and wetland margins. It requires mature trees with specific bark characteristics and moisture conditions for successful reproduction and larval development.
