Allobates subfolionidificans

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Allobates subfolionidificans faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have destroyed critical breeding sites, while the species' specialized leaf-litter microhabitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to forest degradation. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moist forest floor conditions essential for reproduction.

Threat summary

Habitat

This poison dart frog inhabits the leaf-litter layer of lowland tropical rainforests in the Amazon Basin, requiring consistently moist microhabitats with dense canopy cover. The species depends on specific humidity levels and temperature ranges found in undisturbed primary forest environments.
