Ctenodecticus major
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ctenodecticus major faces severe population decline due to extensive habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, with fragmented populations unable to maintain genetic diversity. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further reduced available habitat, while climate change alters the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires for survival.
Habitat
Ctenodecticus major inhabits specialized microhabitats within arid and semi-arid regions, typically found in areas with specific soil composition and vegetation structure. The species requires particular environmental conditions that are highly sensitive to disturbance and climate variation.
