Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Arthroleptis reichei is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the mountains of eastern and southern Tanzania and northern Malawi.[1][2] It has several vernacular names: Poroto screeching frog, large-toad squeaker, Poroto Mountains screeching frog, and Reiche's squeaker.[1][2][3] The specific name reichei honours Karl Friedrich Reiche, a German botanist.[4]

Description

A. reichei is a small Arthroleptis species: adult males measure Шаблон:Convert and adult females Шаблон:Convert in snout–vent length.[3][5][6] The head is narrow and the legs are long. The tympanum is small and is oval in shape.[3] The finger and the toe tips are expanded.[5] The dorsum is brown, usually with a darker hourglass pattern and a pale line or triangle between the eyes.[3]

The male advertisement call consists of irregular repetition of a single whistling note, with a duration of up 30 seconds and consisting of maximally 64 notes. The note repetition rate is about 2.3 per second. There is a dominant frequency at about 3400–3500 Hz.[6]

Habitat and conservation

Arthroleptis reichei occurs in montane forests at elevations of Шаблон:Convert above sea level. It is a leaf-litter species living on the forest floor. Males call from low shrubs and in wild banana plants. As other members of the genus, it probably breeds by direct development[1] (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage[7]).

It is relatively abundant within its known range, but is threatened by habitat loss caused by agricultural activities, small-scale wood extraction, and expanding human settlements. It is known to occur in several protected areas.[1]
