Sachatamia electrops
Sachatamia electrops is a frog in the family Centrolenidae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered and tied to Colombia.
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
Sachatamia electrops is recorded from Colombia.
The type locality — the place tied to the name-bearing specimen — is “Colombia, Departamento de Antioquia, Municipio de Alejandría, Vereda El Respaldo, Bosque La Arenosa, 06°23′31.27″N, 75°02′11.44″W, 1,285 m asl”.
GBIF currently lists 104 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.
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.
Sachatamia electrops 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.
