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
Most individuals were found low on trees some 0.2–0.5 m (1–2 ft) above the ground, but two individuals were found on a limestone cliff inside a cave.
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
