Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Chalcophora mariana faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from deforestation and forest fragmentation, which eliminates the mature deciduous trees essential for its larval development. Climate change and increased frequency of forest fires further threaten remaining populations by altering forest composition and destroying critical breeding habitats.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
Mature deciduous and mixed forests, particularly those containing oak, beech, and other broadleaf trees where larvae develop in dead or dying wood. Adults are found in sun-exposed forest edges and clearings adjacent to mature woodland habitats.
