Litoria lorica
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Litoria lorica faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species is particularly vulnerable to chytrid fungus disease, which has devastated amphibian populations across Australia. Climate change poses additional risks through altered rainfall patterns and increased temperatures affecting breeding sites and larval development.
Habitat
This species inhabits rainforest streams and adjacent wet sclerophyll forests in northeastern Queensland, Australia. It requires clean, flowing water for breeding and relies on dense canopy cover and leaf litter for shelter and foraging.
