Limiting Factors and Threats

The major limiting factor and threat to Entosthodon rubiginosus is probably the trampling and general alteration of its habitat by domestic animals, in particular cattle. A further threat may be long periods of drought. The last four to five years have been particularly dry in interior British Columbia, and populations may have declined, but this is unknown.
