Liocranoeca striata

Local name: randmånspindel

Unknown

Overview

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

Liocranoeca striata faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized coastal and sandy environments. Urban development and recreational activities along coastlines have reduced available habitat, while changes in vegetation structure due to invasive plant species alter the microhabitat conditions this spider requires. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting coastal dune systems.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits coastal dune systems and sandy areas with sparse vegetation, particularly favoring areas with specific microclimate conditions created by low-growing plants and sand substrate. It requires stable sand dune environments with appropriate moisture levels and vegetation cover that provide suitable hunting grounds and shelter.
