Suavocallia splendens
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Suavocallia splendens faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted range of tropical montane forests. Deforestation for agricultural expansion and logging activities have fragmented its specialized microhabitat requirements. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture and temperature conditions essential for this species' survival in high-elevation ecosystems.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical montane forests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters, requiring specific moisture and temperature conditions found in cloud forest environments. It typically occurs in areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity levels characteristic of upper elevation tropical ecosystems.
