From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atelopus is a large genus of true toads natively distributed in Costa Rica to Bolivia and French Guiana. Atelopus are generally brightly colored and diurnal. Most species are associated with mid- to high-elevation streams. This genus has been greatly affected by amphibian declines, and many species are now believed to be extinct. The cause of these declines appears to be the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
