Tapinocyba biscissa

Unknown

Overview

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

Tapinocyba biscissa faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized wetland environments. Agricultural intensification and drainage of marshlands have reduced the availability of suitable microhabitats this tiny spider requires. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate moisture balance of its bog and fen ecosystems.

Threat summary

Habitat

This diminutive spider inhabits specialized wetland environments including bogs, fens, and marshy areas with dense vegetation. It typically occupies the lower vegetation layers and ground surface of these moisture-rich ecosystems, requiring specific humidity and temperature conditions.
