Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Narrow-mouthed frogs are often sit-and-wait predators of ants and termites. Breeding sites range from foam in a burrow to water held in plants.
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
In crisis
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
