Descripción
Sumario:Los Riscos Cave belongs to the El Abra limestone and its geographical location is in the Sierra Gorda in the State of Queretaro, Mexico. The cave has a high faunal diversity that includes arthropods and some vertebrates, such as vampire bats and anurans, and includes the robber frog Eleutherodactylus longipes (Baird, 1859). The abundance of the robber frog changes non-randomly between dry and rainy seasons and is related to the search for humid conditions inside the cave. In addition, the robber frog was located in areas where some scattered light may influence its dispersion inside the cave
