Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
The sotstumpbagge faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. Climate change is altering the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires, while invasive species compete for resources and disrupt established ecological relationships.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
Occupies specialized microhabitats in temperate deciduous forests with dense understory vegetation and high moisture retention, typically found in forest floor leaf litter and decaying organic matter between 200-800m elevation. Requires specific soil chemistry conditions and association with particular fungal communities.
