Pleroma mirabile
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pleroma mirabile faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching across its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting dispersal opportunities. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to encroach on the species' remaining forest patches, while invasive plant species alter the understory composition essential for its survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits the understory of humid Atlantic Forest remnants in southeastern Brazil, typically found in areas with dense canopy cover and rich organic soil layers. It requires specific microhabitat conditions including consistent moisture levels and particular soil chemistry found in undisturbed forest fragments.
