Adelphobates quinquevittatus (Rio Madeira poison frog or more ambiguously, Amazonian poison frog) is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae found in the Rio Madeira drainage in the southern Amazon Basin in Brazil and Bolivia. Most records of this species before 1990 refer to Ranitomeya ventrimaculata . [3] [4] [1]

Habitat

Scientists have observed this frog on the leaf litter in tropical rainforests. Its known range includes protected parks, including Parque Estadual de Guajará-Mirím. [1]

Reproduction

The female frog lays eggs on the leaf litter. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water, such as that in bromeliad plants and in the husks of Brazil nuts. [1]

Threats

The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. What threat it faces comes from deforestation in favor of agriculture, mining, fires, and hydroelectric dams. [1]

It is one of the most variably colored species of poison dart frogs, after D. tinctorius, Adelphobates galactonotus and some Oophaga species. From a conservation standpoint, it is considered to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Within the reptile and amphibian hobby, D. auratus remains one of the most commonly kept, and easiest-to-breed, dart frogs in captivity, as well as in zoos.

The Brazil-nut poison frog is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the state of Pará in Brazil.
