Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors
provided by AmphibiaWeb articles
Species is listed as data deficient because of continuing uncertainties as to its extent of occurrence, status and ecological requirements. Its forest habitat is receding due to subsistence agriculture, timber extraction, charcoal manufacture, invasive spread of eucalyptus, livestock grazing, fires and expanding human settlements. It occurs in the R�serve Sp�ciale d�Ambohitantely, which is poorly managed, and Parc National d'Andohahela, which is well managed (Nussbaum and Vallan 2008).

Anodonthyla nigrigularis: Brief Summary
provided by wikipedia EN
Anodonthyla nigrigularis also known as the Black-throated Climbing frog is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss from agriculture, timber extraction, charcoal manufacturing, spread of non-native eucalyptus, livestock grazing and human settlement. The exact population is unknown but it is seemingly abundant in well-managed Andohahela National Park and less common in Ambohitantely Reserve which is not well managed. Not much else is known about the species.
