Megastomatohyla nubicola
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Megastomatohyla nubicola faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and agricultural expansion in its limited montane cloud forest range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, including shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns that alter the delicate cloud forest ecosystem it depends upon.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters, particularly in areas with persistent fog and high humidity. It is associated with pristine forest streams and adjacent vegetation in these specialized high-altitude ecosystems.
