Pleroma mirabile

Unknown

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.

Threat summary

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.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Pleroma mirabile classified as Endangered?
Pleroma mirabile is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. 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.
Where does Pleroma mirabile live?
Pleroma mirabile occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Pleroma mirabile?
The main threats to Pleroma mirabile are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
