Cover title. "Threatened, 2016." "COSEWIC would like to acknowledge Kristiina Ovaska and Lennart Sopuck for writing the status report [...]. This report was [...] overseen by Joe Carney, Co-chair of the COSEWIC Molluscs Specialist Subcommittee"--Cf. (p. ii). Includes bibliographical references (p. 37-43). "This small, slender blue-coloured slug is only found in western North America where it lives in the moist layer of fallen leaves and mosses in mixed-wood forest. In Canada, it is confined to the southeastern tip of Vancouver Island within the Coastal Douglas-fir biogeoclimatic zone and where it transitions into the Coastal Western Hemlock biogeoclimatic zone. These habitats are declining in extent and what remains is becoming increasingly fragmented. Fifteen subpopulations are currently known, an increase that has resulted in a change of status. A continuing decline in habitat quality is expected due to natural ecosystem modification and competition with invasive species as well as droughts and severe weather events from climate change"--Reason for designation, p. iii. gccst Endangered species gccst Molluscs gccst Nature conservation Ovaska, Kristiina Elisabeth, 1952- Sopuck, Lennart G.
