Eucosma krygeri

Local name: strandmalörtsgallvecklare

Unknown

Overview

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

Eucosma krygeri faces severe threats from habitat loss due to coastal development and agricultural conversion of its specialized dune and grassland habitats. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting its narrow coastal range, while the species' highly restricted distribution makes it extremely vulnerable to local extinctions.

Threat summary

Habitat

Specialized coastal sand dunes, dry grasslands, and maritime heath communities along exposed shorelines. The species is associated with areas containing its host plants in the Artemisia genus, particularly in nutrient-poor sandy soils of coastal environments.
