Abundance estimation of an endemic arboreal poison frog and its environmental variables in a mountain rainforest in Panama

The project will estimate for the first time the abundance of O. vicentei and its correlation with environmental variables such as: temperature, humidity, rainfall and forest structure during two seasons. We will use dynamic acoustic surveys along with in situ measurements of environmental covariates through sensor deployment This will provide vital information about the importance of the environment where this species lives.

1- To estimate for the first time the abundance of O. vicentei in the wild during two seasons 2- To measure environmental variables: temperature, humidity, rainfall, forest structure 3- To distribute information about the project using social media 4- To disseminate information among stakeholders
