Synneuron annulipes

Unknown

Overview

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

Synneuron annulipes faces severe threats from habitat degradation in its specialized wetland environments. Climate change poses particular risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature increases that disrupt the delicate moisture conditions required for larval development. Urban expansion and agricultural intensification continue to fragment and destroy the pristine bog and fen habitats essential for this species' survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits pristine boreal and subarctic wetlands, particularly sphagnum bogs, fens, and marshy areas with stable water levels. It requires undisturbed peat-rich environments with specific moisture gradients and minimal human disturbance.
