Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Allobates ranoides faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development within its limited range in the Amazon basin. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements, making populations highly susceptible to local extinctions from environmental changes and fragmentation.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
This species inhabits tropical rainforest floor environments in the Amazon basin, particularly areas with dense leaf litter and fallen logs near small streams and seepages. It requires humid microhabitats within primary and secondary forest understory below 500m elevation.
