Euorodalus coenosus

Unknown

Overview

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

Euorodalus coenosus faces severe pressure from agricultural intensification and habitat fragmentation across its Scandinavian range. The species' dependence on traditional dung-rich pastures makes it particularly vulnerable to modern farming practices that reduce livestock grazing and eliminate the organic matter essential for its lifecycle. Climate change compounds these threats by altering the moisture and temperature conditions required for successful reproduction in its specialized microhabitats.

Threat summary

Habitat

This specialized dung beetle inhabits traditional pastures and grasslands with regular livestock grazing, particularly in areas with rich organic matter accumulation. The species requires specific moisture and temperature conditions found in well-established dung deposits within semi-natural grassland ecosystems.
