Pleroma thereminianum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pleroma thereminianum faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and agricultural expansion within its restricted range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while cattle ranching and sugarcane cultivation continue to reduce available forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the humid forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid Atlantic Forest remnants in southeastern Brazil, typically found in understory environments of primary and secondary forest formations. It requires well-preserved forest conditions with high humidity levels and dense canopy cover.
