Doloploca punctulana

Local name: tryvårvecklare

Unknown

Overview

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

The tryvårvecklare faces severe habitat loss due to intensive forestry practices that eliminate the old-growth deciduous forests it requires for breeding. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the phenology of its host plants and disrupting the delicate timing between larval emergence and leaf development. Agricultural expansion and urban development continue to fragment remaining suitable habitat patches across its limited Scandinavian range.

Threat summary
