• Recent surveys at Bosque del Apache indicate that the species persists, but only along canals that support moist-soil conditions and herbaceous riparian vegetation; water manipulation and canal maintenance at the refuge can either enhance or degrade microhabitat, depending on timing and location.

• Amphibians were collected from all possible microhabitats during direct searches (visual and auditory) of the ten study sites, and using a time-constrained technique.

• The specific micro-habitat this species inhabits is unknown.
