Habitat and conservation
Centrolene muelleri occurs in cloud forest at elevations of Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level and in associated with streams. Calling males have been observed on the upper surfaces of leaves Script error: No such module "convert". above the water. Egg clutches are probably laid on leaves above streams.[1]
This species seems to be associated with undisturbed habitats. It is probably negatively affected by habitat loss that is occurring in its range. Chytridiomycosis might also be a risk. It could be present in the Alto Mayo Protection Forest.[1]
