Eupeodes biciki

UnknownCREUCREU

Overview

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

Eupeodes biciki faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature shifts that could affect the specific microhabitat conditions this hoverfly requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

Eupeodes biciki inhabits specific montane environments with particular vegetation associations, likely requiring undisturbed natural areas with suitable flowering plants for adult feeding and appropriate substrates for larval development. The species appears to be adapted to narrow ecological niches within its restricted geographic range.
