The Fort Randolph robber frog, Pristimantis gaigei, has suffered population declines across its range in Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia. The declines have come in the wake of the amphibian communicable disease caused by chytrid fungus, chytridiomycosis. This species has been bred successfully in captivity. As direct developers, this small frog goes through all stages of development within the egg. It hatches as a minature of the adult. Photographed in an amphibian conservation program in 2012.
