Tachydromia costalis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Tachydromia costalis faces severe habitat degradation due to coastal development and tourism infrastructure along Mediterranean shorelines. The species' specialized requirements for specific microhabitats within coastal dune systems make it particularly vulnerable to even small-scale disturbances. Climate change-induced sea level rise and increased storm intensity threaten the remaining fragmented populations through direct habitat loss and saltwater intrusion.
Habitat
This species inhabits specialized microhabitats within Mediterranean coastal dune systems, particularly areas with sparse vegetation and specific soil moisture conditions. It requires undisturbed sandy substrates with particular grain size and organic matter content found in the transition zones between active dunes and stabilized vegetation.
