Gastric-brooding frog habitat loss and degradation, pollution, and some diseases may have contributed. The assignment of the genus to a taxonomic family is hotly debated. Some biologists class them within Myobatrachidae under the subfamily Rheobatrachinae, but others place them in their own family, Rheobatrachidae.

Embryos were successfully cloned, and the project eventually hopes to produce a living frog. The southern gastric brooding frog has been
