Their transparent undersides make them ideal bio-indicators for how global warming and other threats are affecting the animals in the forests.

Other distinct characteristics of bare-hearted glass frogs are their forward-facing golden eyes and nostrils raised from their heads.

They are brown with light undersides and have long bodies with pointed tails for swimming while they mature in the streams.

[3] Most Amphibians, including the glass frog, have innate embryonic resistance and defenses hat are reflecting in their social and environmental structures.

It is shown that a frog's skin is a great host for microbe community diversity and may vary depending on horizontal (conspecifics), environmental, or vertical transmissions.

[3] Even though they face threats to their environment, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, they are considered to be "least concern" for extinction.

[6] Along with global warming concerns, studies have shown that predation events of Hyalinobatrachium colymbiphylum are become more widely documented and understood.

The male's responsibility is to protect and keep the eggs moist, he does this through urination and osmosis (a process where water passes through the skin).

[1] Studies have also shown that glass frogs can exhibit complex male-parental responses in unusual circumstances like problems in embryonic development.
