Threats or limiting factors
Habitat loss due to development is a primary threat to this species (USFWS 2021). Threatened by highway and power line construction, urban development, recreation, grazing and displacement by introduce plants (Harper 1997, Stubben 1997, USFWS 2000, USFWS 2021). Several populations are in decline due to impacts from threats acting on these species singly or in combination (Van Buren et al. 2016, Searle and Meyer 2020, USFWS 2021) Significant portions of the habitat of this species are subject to disturbance from these threats (USFWS USFWS 2000).
