Asmat. 2004. Hylarana taipehensis. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2004: e.T58730A11832766. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2004.RLTS.T58730A11832766.en. Downloaded on 14 September 2020. | Description | JUSTIFICATION Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, tolerance of a broad range of habitats, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. RANGE DESCRIPTION This species is known from central and southern China (including Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Taiwan and Hong Kong), through northern Viet Nam through the Annamite foothills of Viet Nam and Lao Peoples Democratic Republic to southern Viet Nam, Cambodia and northeast Thailand. It is recorded with some degree of doubt from northern Myanmar (Smith, 1940). There is a recent record from Chittagong district in Bangladesh. Range information might be affected by former confusion of Rana taipehensis with Rana macrodactyla and Rana erythraea. It is likely also to be in northern Peninsular Malaysia (P.P. van Dijk pers. comm.). It occurs from lowlands up to about 800m asl. DESCRIPTION It is generally recorded as common. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY It inhabits open, grassy wetland areas, rice paddies, river floodplains and forest ponds and swampy areas in deciduous forest. It breeds in standing water that has any kind of thicket around the edge. THREATS Given its adaptability to a variety of wetland types including agricultural landscapes, its wide distribution and its small size, the species appears only under potential threat from pesticide pollution. It is also persecuted as a pest in some parts of its range. CONSERVATION ACTIONS The species range includes several protected areas. No further conservation measures appear necessary at present. |
