Microhabitat Preferences of Metaphrynella sundana in Sarawak.
Microhabitat preferences of Metaphrynella sundana in Sarawak is a study of habitat structural attributes of this species in Sarawak, Malaysia. M. sundana, also called the Bornean tree-hole frog, is a small frog classified in the family of Microhylidae with stocky bodies ranging between 19-22.5 mm. N...
