Re: Panamanian golden frog
They found no tadpoles only one specimen. True, the population might not be viable. If there is a population at all! You just can't draw any conclusions based on finding one specimen.
I just wanted to mention that they found one, finding one MIGHT mean there are more around. Who knows! I think finding one individual is a good thing when many people think none are remaining in the wild. Anyway... the location has been forwarded to the people working on the conservation of this species.
As for the varius morph which has a similar pattern. I'm not sure how they have distinguished between the two.. to me the frog sure looked like zeteki and not like any varius morph that I've seen. From what I read their distribution does not overlap aswell...
