Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.
In crisis
It was already considered possibly extinct in 2004, but three living frogs were discovered in 2005–2006. It is threatened by habitat loss: the type locality has already been destroyed by agriculture and human settlement. Even so, the discovery of two new populations in 2005–2006 suggested that it is not quite as threatened as previously feared. One of them is in the Serra do Mar State Park where it has already been recorded later.
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
