Stagnicola kayseris
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Stagnicola kayseris faces severe threats from habitat degradation and water pollution in its limited freshwater environments. Agricultural runoff and urban development have contaminated the shallow waters where this endemic snail species depends for survival. Climate change-induced alterations to precipitation patterns further threaten the stability of its aquatic habitats, while invasive species competition adds additional pressure to already vulnerable populations.
Habitat
This freshwater gastropod inhabits shallow, slow-moving waters including ponds, marshes, and quiet stream margins with abundant aquatic vegetation. The species requires clean, well-oxygenated water with stable temperatures and minimal disturbance from human activities.
