Litoria myola
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Litoria myola 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 precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency in its already restricted habitat.
Habitat
This critically endangered frog inhabits montane rainforest streams and adjacent wet sclerophyll forests in southeastern Queensland. It requires clean, flowing water with rocky substrates for breeding and dense riparian vegetation for shelter.
