Talamancalia putcalensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Talamancalia putcalensis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited montane range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human encroachment. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required for this endemic species' survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and high-elevation tropical forests in the Talamanca mountain range of Costa Rica and Panama. It requires specific microclimatic conditions with high humidity and stable temperatures typical of these specialized montane ecosystems.
