Allobates nidicola is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][4][1]

Habitat

This largely terrestrial frog lives in the Amazon biome in flooded igapó forests. It has been observed on the leaf litter and other ground cover. Scientists have seen the frog 50 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog has been observed in many protected parks.[1]

Reproduction

The female frog lays a clutch of two to six eggs on the leaf litter. The tadpoles develop into frogs in the nest.[1]

Threats

The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. In some parts of its range, it is in danger from fish-spine clear-cutting in favor of cattle rearing.[1]
