Overview

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

Temnothorax gordiagini faces significant threats from habitat degradation in its limited Mediterranean range. Urban development and agricultural intensification have reduced available nesting sites in rocky crevices and under stones. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the moisture levels critical for colony survival.
