Habitat and Ecology: | It is an arboreal species found in forest and other dense vegetation along large lowland rivers. Breeding takes place in clear forest streams. Newly metamorphosed juveniles disperse through the surrounding forest and gradually become arboreal, moving up into the forest strata. It is unable to adapt to modified habitats. |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater |
Use and Trade: | There are no records of the species being utilized. |
Major Threat(s): | The major threats to this species are riverine development, lowland forest clearance and the resulting sedimentation of streambeds. |
Conservation Actions: | It is present in a number of protected areas. Protection of areas of lowland riverine forest is the primary conservation measure required. It is protected by wildlife legislation in Thailand. It has been bred in captivity in Europe (Schmidt 1994). |
Amended reason: | This species was assessed previously under the genus Pedostibes but is now treated under Rentapia, hence the need for this amended version. |
