Thalassisobates littoralis

Local name: strandtrådtusenbein

Unknown

Overview

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

Thalassisobates littoralis faces severe threats from coastal development and sea-level rise, which directly impact its specialized littoral zone habitat. The species' extremely restricted distribution along specific shoreline microhabitats makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat modification and fragmentation. Climate change-induced alterations to coastal hydrology and sediment dynamics further threaten the delicate balance of conditions this millipede requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This millipede inhabits the narrow littoral zone along rocky and sandy coastlines, specifically occupying the interface between terrestrial and marine environments. It requires stable moisture conditions and organic debris accumulation found in coastal crevices, under stones, and among decaying seaweed deposits.
