Craugastor talamancae in humid lowland and montane secondary and old growth forests at elevations of
above sea level. It can sometimes occur in modified habitats. It is a
nocturnal frog that hides in leaf litter during the day, but typically moves to low-lying vegetation at night. The diet consists of small arthropods other than
hemipterans.
Craugastor talamancae is common in parts of its range but has declined and is rare in others. It is known from several protected areas. It is threatened by
habitat loss (deforestation caused by agriculture and logging).
Chytrid fungus has also been detected in the species. It is also threatened by climate-driven reductions in quantity of standing leaf litter. ==References==
