Population [top]

Population:	It is common to abundant throughout its range.
Population Trend:	Stable

Habitat and Ecology [top]

Habitat and Ecology:	It is usually found on trees and bushes next to streams or permanent waterbodies in tropical rainforest. Eggs are found on leaves and tadpoles migrate into the water. At Santa Cecilia, Ecuador, specimens of this species were found in primary forest and secondary forest at night, where adults were on bushes and trees (Duellman, 1978). At Yasuní National Park, Ecuador, this nocturnal species has been found in inundated forest and open areas and terra firme forest (Ron, 2001).
Systems:	Terrestrial; Freshwater
