"Hylarana" montivaga, sometimes known as Langbian Plateau frog or Chantaburi stream frog, is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. Its generic placement is currently unsettled.[2] It is known from the Langbian Plateau in southern-central Vietnam; records from elsewhere (including Thailand) refer to other species.[1]

Habitat and conservation

This species is known from streams in evergreen forests at elevations of 1,500–2,000 m (4,900–6,600 ft) above sea level. It is currently listed as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN). This is due to agriculture and aquaculture within their habitats, and biological resource use.[1]

gollark: * slightly tweaked spike proteins, but the Moderna/Pfizer-BioNTech ones use that too
gollark: Presumably it is, because Novavax's vaccine uses actual spike proteins + adjuvant.
gollark: I thought so, but it turns out that in some age groups it is actually seemingly a net negative to be vaccinated with some of the vaccines, and the non-adenovirus ones don't seem to have this problem so there's a fairly usable solution.
gollark: Younger people apparently experience more blood clots and aren't that at-risk from COVID-19.
gollark: There's a lot of age variance in vaccine deaths *and* blood clots, though.
