Red List of beetles of the Wadden Sea Area

Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen volume 50, pages 83–96 (1996)Cite this article

Summary

As no data on beetles in the Wadden Sea area are available from The Netherlands, the trilateral status of threat only refers to the Danish and German part of the Wadden Sea. In this area, in total, 238 species of beetles are threatened in at least one subregion. Of these, 189 species are threatened in the entire area and are therefore placed on the trilateral Red List. 4 species are (probably) extinct in the entire Wadden Sea area. The status of 24 species of beetles is (probably) critical, 46 species are (probably) endangered, the status of 86 species is (probably) vulnerable and of 29 species (probably) susceptible.

Additional information

This list forms part of the Report on the RED LISTS of BIOTOPES, FLORA and FAUNA of the TRILATERAL WADDEN SEA AREA. For basic information concerning, for example, function of these lists, species taken into account, structure of the lists and abbreviations used, see also the general introduction to the Red Lists. Although from the Netherlands no data on beetle species distribution are currently available. The Netherlands agree at this stage to the proposed overall status of threat.
