The loss of the frogs habitat in the lowland forest, due to logging, is causing the frogs to compete for food, water and space. Also the pollution caused by the agricultural and mine-tailing of humans in the area is causing the mountain streams and rivers to become polluted leaving fewer places for frogs to produce and rear their young.
Oreophryne anulata is an arboreal frog that inhabits mossy forest, but has also been found in disturbed lower montane forest. Choruses of calling males have been observed beside ponds and lakes. However, breeding does not require water [ 1 ] as development is direct [ 1 ] [ 3 ] (i.e, there is no free-living larval stage [ 4 ] ).
Philautus worcesteri, the Mindanao bubble-nest frog, or smooth-skinned tree frog is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Mindanao, the Philippines. [3] [4] Its natural habitats are lower montane and lowland forests, and it occurs also in slightly disturbed habitats. It is an arboreal species.
[2] [4] It is unclear whether similar frogs from northeast Mindanao are referable to this species. [1] It was described as Oreophryne nana, but based on molecular data it was moved to Aphantophryne in 2017. [4] [5] Common names Camiguin cross frog, [2] Camiguin narrow-mouthed frog, [6] and volcano cross frog have been coined for the species. [4]
