One Small Step for Toad, One Giant Leap for Frogkind: An Updated Checklist and Microhabitat Preference of Anurans in Mt. Sumagaya, Misamis Oriental, Philippines

Abstract Amphibians thrive in a wide variety of habitats and are determined by factors like metamorphic life cycle, reproductive activity and modes. The primary objective of the study is to provide baseline information in reviewing the biogeographic range of included species and provide information regarding the microhabitat preferences of amphibians in Mt. Sumagaya Range. Opportunistic sampling was conducted to record anurans which took place during the day (0900–1400 hours) and at night (1900–2300 hours) using standard illuminating device along the established Biodiversity Monitoring Sites (BMS) trail, streams, and rivers. A total of 19 anuran species were observed, providing 12 additional species records in the study site where eight (32%) species were only observed in arboreal microhabitats. Eight (32%) species were only observed in arboreal microhabitat and the five (20%) species solely preferred aquatic microhabitat types. Invasive species such as Rhinella marina and Kaloula pulchra were recorded during the survey. Given the high level of endemism in Misamis Oriental, the presence of these invasive alien species highlights the urgent need to strengthen conservation and protection efforts in the region.
