No dendrobatids are known to be extinct at present, but many dendrobatids have small distributions within the over-all range of the family, so information on the status of these species is difficult to obtain.
Dendrobatids may be found during the dry season, but they are generally less active during this time.
Dendrobatids usually feed on tiny arthropods, ranging in average size from 0.03 to 0.07 in (0.8 to 1.7 mm) in length.
