In conclusion, the endangered and endemic poison dart frog Excidobates mysteriosus was found with a higher presence on wider bromeliads than on smaller and with higher presence on bromeliads that had deeper water cavities than on bromeliads with shallower water cavities. They were mostly found in the same bromeliad after recaptures. Adults and juveniles were eating small ants and flies. Finally adults preferred to release only one tadpole per bromeliad water cavity.
