Its common name is Spaldings robber frog, after Spaldings, its type locality. It seems to have been accidentally introduced to Bermuda, but may already have disappeared from there. Eleutherodactylus gossei occurs in a variety of mesic habitats, including rural gardens and former forests. It is widespread and can be common in suitable habitat. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by, for example, intensive agricultural practices and infrastructure development. |
