This is an arboreal species that breeds in temporary ponds and slow moving streams. It may occur in slightly degraded habitats. Population It is not uncommon. Population Trend Stable Major Threats Although there is considerable loss of habitat in Ecuador through settlement and agriculture, there are still large areas of suitable habitat available to this species.
