Rare amphibian species is registered in Minas Gerais

The newest described amphibian species is as small as a fingernail, spends its life inside a bromeliad and is only found at a specific point in the Pico de Itambé State Park. THE Crossodactylodes itambe

 was described last Friday (1) in Zootaxa magazine. It measures about 15 mm in length and lives inside bromeliads.

The genus includes 3 more species and all of them occur at high altitudes and occupy bromeliads throughout their life. It is an endemic species. So far, the bromeliad frog, as it is called by the locals, has been registered only in the Pico do Itambé State Park, in Minas Gerais, in an area of ​​less than 0.1 km2. Hence its scientific name.

"The registration of the new species expands the area of ​​occurrence of the genus, which was known in few localities of the Atlantic Forest” celebrates Izabela Barata, the main author of the discovery and a researcher at the Institute Biotropics. "We have to assess how much the species is restricted and which climatic variables can influence the distribution and occurrence of this species."

Amphibians are very vulnerable to changes in the environment. No wonder, they are at the top of the IUCN (World Union for the Conservation of Nature) list of most endangered vertebrates on the planet. Researchers believe that temperature and humidity are important factors for the preservation of the bromeliad thrush. Monitoring the species will help to understand the consequences of climate change on Brazilian biodiversity.
