Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Direct-developing rainfrogs live in wet forest. They do not need a pond, which is why a logged hillside can erase a species.
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
In crisis
It is classified as "endangered".
Direct-developing frogs vanish with the forest floor. There is no pond population waiting off-site.
