Talisia setigera
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Talisia setigera faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Urban development and cattle ranching continue to reduce the quality and connectivity of its forest habitat, while climate change may alter the specific microclimatic conditions this endemic tree requires.
Habitat
Talisia setigera is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, where it grows in humid lowland and montane forests. The species typically occurs in primary and well-preserved secondary forest areas with rich, well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels.
