Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
Colletotrichum phyllanthi did not produce anamorphic or teleomorphic structures under our growth conditions, so direct comparison of morphological characters was problematic (Damm, et al., 2012).
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
The species was firstly collected in India, but there is still little data on its ecology. In Brazil, the area of occurrence is the Atlantic Forest, one of the main global biodiversity hotspots, threatened by urbanization and agricultural activities. I suggest inclusion of it in the near threatened category.
Geographic range
There are about 7 species occurrences in the world, but in GBIF there is only one.
Population and Trends
There are about 7 records of the species in the world, of which five (42%) are in India. Apparently it is not a very common species.
Population Trend:
Habitat and Ecology
The species occurs mainly in India and Brazil. In Brazil, the species is found in the Atlantic Forest.
Threats
Two of the three species occurrences in Brazil were in the Atlantic Forest, one of the largest biodiversity hotspots on the planet.
Conservation Actions
1/3 of the species records in Brazil are in areas of environmental protection, but it is also found in agricultural areas.
Research needed
Studies of other biomes will contribute to assessing the species distribution.
Use and Trade
None.
