Pristimantis hamiotae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pristimantis hamiotae faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and human settlement development within its limited range in the Andes. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and population fragmentation.
Habitat
This species inhabits cloud forests and montane humid forests in the Andean slopes, typically found in leaf litter and low vegetation between 1,500-2,500 meters elevation. It requires pristine forest conditions with high humidity and stable microclimatic conditions characteristic of these montane ecosystems.
