Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Distribution. This Holarctic species ranges from the European part of Russia to eastern Siberia (Kataev et al. 2003: 370) and in the Nearctic Region from east-central Alaska to southern Northwest Territories (Lindroth 1968: 749), south to central Alberta (Bousquet 1987 a: 130). The species is rarely collected on this continent.
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Harpalobrachys leiroides is officially designated as Not Evaluated. Current field registries estimate a global population composed of an unquantified number of individuals, making habitat preservation critical to maintaining their wild populations.

It is typically endemic to tundra, showing great physiological synergy with its surroundings. In terms of dietary preferences, it relies primarily on a diet of diverse organic matter. It exhibits specialized adaptations centered around a its natural cycle activity pattern, optimizing its energy conservation and interactions within its native ecosystem.

Ongoing biological monitoring and ecological advocacy emphasize the importance of protecting this species. The stability of its food chain and the prevention of fragmentation in its primary range are vital for the continued survival of Harpalobrachys leiroides.
