Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: The adults of this species are mostly terrestrial and disperse widely over the rainforest floor. Breeding takes place in small, clear, rocky-bottomed streams. The larvae live in torrents, clinging to rocks and feeding on lithophytes. This species appears to be unable to adapt to modified habitats.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The major threat is forest loss and fragmentation, due to the conversion of forests to rubber and oil palm plantations, as well as the resulting eutrophication of streams by chemical fertilisers and stream siltation (thereby depriving larvae of feeding sites).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: It is present in several protected areas, and the continued protection of large areas of hilly rainforests is essential.
