Ufersumpfspinnchen

Glyphesis taoplesius

Unknown

Overview

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

The Ufersumpfspinnchen faces severe habitat degradation from wetland drainage and agricultural conversion throughout its limited range. Urban development and water pollution from agricultural runoff have significantly reduced the quality of remaining riparian habitats. Climate change-induced alterations to water levels and seasonal flooding patterns further threaten the specialized microhabitats this species requires for reproduction and survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits the margins of freshwater wetlands, particularly areas with dense vegetation along slow-moving streams and pond edges. It requires specific moisture conditions and plant communities found in undisturbed riparian zones with stable water levels.
