Certainty of Assessment
A lot is known on the biology and ecology of Dendrobates auratus. This species is native to Central America and was intentionally introduced to Hawaii where it is now established. Potential impacts have been stated but no significant impact has been reported. Due to lack of information, the certainty of assessment is low. More information is needed to elevate the assessment to medium or high certainty.
