Rhagada gibbensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Rhagada gibbensis faces severe threats from habitat degradation caused by invasive plant species and altered fire regimes in its restricted range. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional risks to the remaining populations, while the species' limited dispersal ability makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances. Climate change may further exacerbate these pressures by altering the delicate moisture conditions required for this land snail's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic land snail inhabits rocky outcrops and limestone formations in semi-arid shrublands of Western Australia. It requires specific microhabitat conditions with adequate moisture retention and native vegetation cover for shelter and feeding.
