This species is an inhabitant of mesic forests on the coast and in the uplands; although associated with closed-canopy forest, it can tolerate some habitat degradation.

These frogs are found in Cuba at elevations up to 1,150 m above sea level, in closed-canopy mesic and xeric forests.

The percent of Australian states covered in closed-canopy forest.

Between fire in open pastures and seed predation by bruchid beetles in closed-canopy forest, S. mombin does not stand a chance.

Both genera are semiaquatic, and have been proposed to inhabit small streams in closed-canopy forests, fast-flowing streams, larger, slow moving rivers, and lakes.

Rungwe has unbroken 10m-15m closed-canopy forest up to the tree-line at 2600 m, and is home to numerous important bird species.

The natural vegetation was closed-canopy forest in moister areas, and grassland, bushland, and thicket in drier areas.

Garry oak woodlands create a landscape mosaic of grassland, savanna, woodland, and closed-canopy forest.

Some species prefer closed-canopy forest with a moist, even microclimate that could be disturbed for instance by logging (e.g. Skeletocutis jelicii).

The species is highly dependent on closed-canopy primary forest containing large emergent trees.
