Radomaniola dolens

Unknown

Overview

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

Radomaniola dolens faces severe threats from groundwater extraction and pollution in its limited karst spring habitat in the Dinaric Alps. The species' extremely restricted range makes it highly vulnerable to hydrological changes, with agricultural runoff and urban development further degrading water quality in its specialized freshwater spring environment.
