Bradybatus kellneri

Local name: skogslönnsvivel

Unknown

Overview

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

Bradybatus kellneri faces significant pressure from forest management practices that alter the structure and composition of its maple-dominated woodland habitats. The species' dependence on specific microhabitat conditions within old-growth and semi-natural forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and forest fragmentation. Climate change poses an additional threat by potentially shifting the distribution and health of its host maple trees, while habitat degradation from human activities continues to reduce suitable breeding and feeding sites.

Threat summary

Habitat

This weevil species inhabits deciduous and mixed forests dominated by maple trees (Acer species), particularly favoring old-growth and semi-natural woodland environments. It requires specific microhabitat conditions within these forests, including appropriate moisture levels and the presence of suitable host plant material for larval development.
