Eleutherodactylus glandulifer
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eleutherodactylus glandulifer 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 cloud forests in the central mountains of Puerto Rico, typically found in leaf litter and low vegetation. It requires humid microhabitats with dense canopy cover and is associated with areas of high rainfall and consistent moisture levels.
