 Papers about frogs
Two of the species appear closely related to species found on the Amazonian slopes of the Andes in Colombia and/or Ecuador (one from Western Antioquia is the sister species of E. ganonotus and the other from the Serranía de los Paraguas is the sister species of E. pugnax).
The three Andean cordilleras harbor between 87 and 121 species of frogs and toads, demonstrating that the biodiversity of Colombia resides primarily in its montane components, not in its lowland rainforests.
One of these occurs in the transition between lowland forests and cloud forests in northwestern Colombia, one is found in cloud forests of western Antioquia, another is found in cloud forests between Cali and Popayán, and the remainder are species found on the Serranía de los Paraguas.

Con la excepción de M. quadrangularis, la regeneración bajo árboles aislados fue más rica en especies y más abundante que la encontrada en el pastizal abierto.
Los resultados del estudio sugieren que estos árboles, comunes en los potreros del Bosque húmedo Pre-montano en la Cordillera Occidental de Colombia, aumentan la diseminación de semillas de especies arbóreas y/o crean micrositios apropiados para su germinación.
