Ecnomiohyla echinata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ecnomiohyla echinata faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development throughout its limited range in Central America. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its specialized habitat requirements and small population size, with additional pressures from climate change affecting montane forest ecosystems and potential disease outbreaks that have impacted amphibian populations across the region.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations typically between 1,200-2,400 meters. It is associated with primary and secondary forest canopy environments with high humidity and consistent moisture levels characteristic of cloud forest ecosystems.
