Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater [1].
Ecology:
This species can be found in ponds
in montane
forest
. It breeds
all
year long in Chevron; however, it seems that the highest number of
breeding events occur during high rainfall (M.
Kusrini pers. comm.
August 2009). Contrary to the characteristic reproduction
mode
of
this genus, this species has a free-living tadpole
stage, and females
attend to their eggs
until they hatch
(M. Kusrini pers. comm.
August
2009). Mean clutch
size is 52 eggs (n = 12; range
: 37–66 eggs, SD=
8.25; M. Kusrini pers. comm. August 2009).[1].
