Edits to Introduction
I deleted the sparse introduction and added a more comprehensive one in its place. Jsun2148 (talk) 18:38, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Edit to habitat and distribution and some sentence rephrasing.
I added more information about the frog’s temperature and humidity range in the habitat and distribution section. I also rephrased some sentences to make them more concise.

Sentence I added:

The favorable humidity level is 80% to 100%. The temperature range this frog can stand is pretty wide, which range from 17℃ to 30℃. However the most suitable temperature level is 20 to 26 ℃.

Sentence I rephrased:

Climbing Mantella tadpoles will consume unfertilized or fertilized eggs of their own species. Tadpoles are only known to consume conspecific eggs, so they do not engage in the cannibalism of other tadpoles and ignore mosquitoes or other small arthropod larvae.

Female frogs will approach male frogs who advertise their territory with a two-tone call made by males. Female frogs are either mute or have weak calls. Upon hearing the mating calls, the female frogs will approach the well occupied by males.

Poisonous lipophilic alkaloids stored in skin glands is the effective defensive chemicals.Yunfeng Ge (talk) 03:22, 18 October 2022 (UTC) Yunfeng Ge (talk) 01:10, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Edit to Taxonomy and question about image source
I think the writing is concise but also interesting to keep the readers engaged with the information. I added more specific headings, such as male-to-male competition and male-to-female interaction in the mating section. I also included the species' taxonomy after the conservatory sections

Question about the image: it seems like the image came from a research article, and I am not sure if that image is authorized or not Emily486103 (talk) 18:24, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Restructure Introduction + Parental Care sections
Some information from the introduction regarding reproductive parasitism was redistributed to the Parental Care section (introduction was slightly longer than optimal).

The Parental Care section was divided into subsections of “Egg laying”, “Territory defense as paternal care”, “Site selection for egg laying”, and “Reproductive parasitism”. Not much content was changed, beside concision and sentence clarity.

Some edits were made to address informal language in the Habitat and distribution section.
