Habitat:
This species inhabits humid montane forest, and it also occurs in slightly degraded habitats. It is largely terrestrial, but has been found climbing vegetation. It breeds by direct development.
Range:
This species occurs in humid premontane and lower montane areas in the cordilleras of Costa Rica and adjacent western Panama, from 500–2,120 m asl. Its estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 17,389 km2, which likely represents 5-10 threat-defined locations.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
This species occurs in the Monteverde Biological Reserve, Volcán Irazu National Park, Volcán Poas National Park, Braulio Caurillo National Park, and Guanacaste National Park, all in Costa Rica. In Panama it occurs in Reserva Forestal Fortuna, which is well-protected as part of a hydroelectric project (Panama Red List Assessment Workshop August 2019). It is also found in Parque Internacional La Amistad in both countries.
Conservation Needed
Improved management and enforcement of the boundaries of Parque Internacional La Amistad in Panama are needed to prevent illegal deforestation and habitat degradation from occurring within the park (Panama Red List Assessment Workshop August 2019). Proactive, precautionary steps should be taken to detect the arrival of Bsal in Panama and/or Costa Rica and to establish a baseline by including the swabbing of salamanders encountered during routine amphibian monitoring activities in these countries (Panama and Costa Rica Red List Assessment Workshops 2019).
Research Needed
Population surveys are required in Panama.
