Dendropsophus bogerti (Cochran & Goin, 1970)

Dendropsophus bogerti (Cochran & Goin, 1970)

Dendropsophus bogerti (Cochran & Goin, 1970)

Dendropsophus bogerti is a common, adaptable open-area frog with no known recorded threats.","description"}{"optimized_content":"In a sample of Dendropsophus bogerti collected from Chocó, three adult males measured 25–26 mm (0.98–1.02 in) and one adult female measured 31 mm (1.2 in) in snout-to-vent length (SVL). In another sample of 11 adults (with no sex specified) that included the holotype, SVL ranged between 31 and 34 mm (1.2 and 1.3 in). The species has a short and rounded snout, and a very indistinct tympanum. The fingers are only webbed at the base, while the toes are slightly more than one-half webbed. This species shows sexual dimorphism in coloration: males have dull yellowish green dorsal surfaces on the body and limbs, while these surfaces are pale golden brown or beige in females. The concealed surfaces of the limbs are bright orange. The throat is bright yellow, and the belly and posteroventral part of the flanks are pale brownish yellow. The iris is coppery. Tadpoles of Dendropsophus bogerti have an ovoid body that is wider than it is tall. The tadpole body is dark brown, with blue, gold, and purple iridescence on the anterior portion, and golden spots on the dorsal surface. The fins are coppery brown, and the tail is xiphicercal, meaning it narrows abruptly to a distinct flagellum. Tadpoles at Gosner stage 34 measure 14–15 mm in body length, which is about 41% of their total length. Dendropsophus bogerti is an adaptable species found in open areas such as secondary forest and pastureland, at elevations of 1,500–2,580 m (4,920–8,460 ft) above sea level. Eggs of this species are deposited in temporary or permanent pools. This is a very common species that is not facing any known threats. However, it has not been recorded within any protected areas.","one_line_intro":"Dendropsophus bogerti is a common adaptable frog found in Chocó open highland areas with no known threats.","Dendropsophus bogerti": "(Cochran & Goin, 1970) is a very common adaptable tree frog found in open Andean areas at 1500-2580m, with no known threats but no records from protected areas
