Eupsophus migueli

Eupsophus migueli is a frog in the family Alsodidae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered.

Status
Endangered
Scientific name
Eupsophus migueli
Taxonomy
Amphibia · Anura · Alsodidae · Eupsophus

Appearance

Adult frogs of both sexes measure 33.5 to 42.0 mm in snout-vent length. Individuals may differ in coloration. For the most part, the skin of the dorsum is red-brown or pink in color.

Range and habitat

This frog is found under logs near streams in Nothofagus forests. It can also be found in small patches of rainforest or on pine tree plantations if they have sufficient smaller plants.

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.

Eupsophus migueli is Endangered on this catalog because that is the IUCN category stored on Wikidata. Confirm the official criteria and any later count on iucnredlist.org.
