Source-derived summary

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.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Anodonthyla nigrigularis” as species of amphibian. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current 99-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Anodonthyla, nigrigularis and species can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of amphibian. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2698205. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
