Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater [1].
Ecology:
Its range
lies
within very humid premontane forest
and low humid
montane
forest. The annual
mean precipitation
is 2000-4000mm in the
very humid premontane forest, and 1,000-2,000mm in the low humid
montane forest. The annual mean temperature
is 18-24°C in the very
humid premontane forest, and 12-18°C in the low humid montane forest
(Coloma 1995). Reproduction
probably occurs by the females laying
eggs
on the ground
, and the males bringing the larvae to streams
for their continued development.[1].
