Sarcohyla mykter
Plectrohyla mykter
Sarcohyla mykter is a treefrog in the family Hylidae (order Anura) — Plectrohyla mykter, recorded as Endangered.
Appearance
Sarcohyla mykter, also known as the keelsnout treefrog or keel-snouted treefrog, is a frog in the family Hylidae.
Range and habitat
It is endemic to the Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero, Mexico. Sarcohyla mykter occurs in high-elevation (1,985–2,520 m (6,512–8,268 ft) above sea level) cloud and wet pine-oak forest and oak woodland in association with streams, its breeding habitat. It is threatened by habitat loss and potentially also by chytridiomycosis.
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.
