Eleutherodactylus fowleri
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eleutherodactylus fowleri faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited Puerto Rican range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and natural disasters such as hurricanes. Invasive species and potential disease outbreaks pose additional risks to the remaining populations.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane forests and forest edges in Puerto Rico, typically found in areas with dense vegetation and adequate moisture levels. It occupies both primary and secondary forest habitats at moderate to high elevations.
