- •
A thermal scaling on the body temperatures of the Atelopus species, it reflects their altitudinal distribution in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
- •
Atelopus carrikeri has a variation on body temperature higher than Atelopus laetissimus and Atelopus nahumae.
- •
Atelopus carrikeri, A. laetissimus and A. nahumae are thermoforming/thermoconformers.
- •
Atelopus species in forest habitats such as A. laetissimus and A. nahumae may be more susceptible to macro and micro-climatic changes than Atelopus species in Paramo habitats such as A. carrikeri.
