Most data collected on this group of animals for the country comes from a few interested individuals or citizen scientists. Based on information provided by a citizen scientist (third author of this paper), we report for the first time on the occurrence of the Gammii Frog, Nanorana gammii (Anderson, 1871) in Zhemgang District of Central Bhutan. In this paper, we provide information on the newly discovered locality, habitat and conservation status of this species in Bhutan. We also report on the use of N. gammii by the local communities for food. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Taprobanica, 10(1), p. 58-60 | Publisher: | Research Center for Climate Change (RCCC) and the University of Indonesia, Faculty of Mathematics & Natural Sciences (FMIPA) | Place of Publication: | Indonesia | ISSN: | 1800-427X | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 310402 Biogeography and phylogeography | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 280102 Expanding knowledge in the biological sciences | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
