Ptychohyla dendrophasma
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ptychohyla dendrophasma faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and agricultural expansion in its limited montane forest range. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment. Climate change poses additional risks by altering the temperature and moisture conditions essential for this amphibian's survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits cloud forests and montane humid forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters in the Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico. It is typically found in primary forest areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity levels.
