Mantidactylus bourgati is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. The species is endemic to Madagascar. [1]
Mantidactylus bourgati is found only on the Andringitra Massif in Madagascar's Central Highlands. It inhabits, and breeds in, clear streams running through montane forests and in montane grasslands above the treeline.
The species requires clear streams, and is affected by habitat degradation. Its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 1,313 km2.
Mantidactylus bourgati previously considered as M. curtus , populations from the Andringitra Massif have recently been resurrected under the name M. bourgati. Specimens of quite variable morphology and colouration can be found along streams both inside montane forest and above the treeline (Glaw and Vences 2007). [2]
The Madagascar subhumid forests are a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion that covers most of the Central Highlands of the island of Madagascar. They are included in the WWF's Global 200 list of outstanding ecoregions. Most of the original habitats have been lost due to human pressure.
The Madagascar ericoid thickets is a montane shrubland ecoregion, found at higher altitudes on Madagascar's four major mountains.
