Notes
Discovered beneath tree branch on low, north-facing hill with scattered trees and rock outcrops. This is an arid location, and B. gregarious here have evolved longer bodies, shorter limbs, and smaller feet than those that inhabit forested areas with greater rainfall (Stebbins 2003). Found here despite parched April weather.
