Habitat and conservation
The species' natural habitats are tropical primary moist forests, in both terra firme and seasonally flooded forests. It breeds in temporary pools.[1] It is nocturnal, although during some months males can be heard calling during the daytime.
It is locally affected by habitat loss, but there are no major threats to this reasonably abundant and widespread species. It occurs in a number of protected areas, including its namesake Yasuni National Park.[1]
