Overview

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

Ceutorhynchus scapularis faces severe population declines due to intensive agricultural practices that eliminate its host plants and apply harmful pesticides. Habitat fragmentation from agricultural expansion and urban development has isolated remaining populations, while climate change is altering the distribution and phenology of both the weevil and its cruciferous host plants.

Threat summary

Habitat

Agricultural margins, grasslands, and disturbed areas where wild and cultivated Brassicaceae plants grow, particularly favoring field edges, hedgerows, and semi-natural habitats adjacent to croplands. The species is closely associated with cruciferous host plants including wild mustards and cultivated brassicas.
