Anakelisia fasciata

Unknown

Overview

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

Uferseggen-Spornzikade faces severe habitat loss due to wetland drainage and agricultural intensification across its limited European range. The species' dependence on specific sedge communities makes it particularly vulnerable to hydrological changes and water pollution from agricultural runoff. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate moisture balance required by its host plants.

Threat summary

Habitat

This specialized planthopper inhabits wetland margins and sedge-dominated communities, particularly areas with Carex species along riverbanks, lake shores, and marshy grasslands. The species requires specific moisture conditions and is closely associated with its sedge host plants in these transitional wetland ecosystems.
