Cycloramphus brasiliensis
Cycloramphus brasiliensis
Cycloramphus brasiliensis is a frog in the family Cycloramphidae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered.
The frog
Frogs and toads typically begin as aquatic tadpoles, though some families lay eggs on land and hatch as froglets. Skin and eggs both need moisture.
Amphibians need damp skin or water at some point in the life cycle. Habitat loss and chytrid fungus sit behind many of the badges in this class.
Range and habitat
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
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
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
