Environment & Ecology
La primera especie se caracteriza por usar la hojarasca durante el día, y los arbustos y plántulas durante la noche, usando la estrategia de evitar los predadores nocturnos rastreros, como las serpientes, pudiendo adaptarse fácilmente a diferentes tipos de hábitats, no obstante puede ser impactado a nivel ontogénico, es decir a nivel de estadíos. Puesto que el estadío juvenil puede ser más vulnerable por tener un cuerpo más pequeño y no tolerar cambios de temperatura y ausencia de hojarascas en el bosque

although its (ontogenetic) development may be affected
Assuming this is a relatively scientific paper, I think one can leave "ontogenetic" in.

: See my comment. The frog is differentially vulnerable depending on its stage of development. See the last sentence.

I stand by my suggestion too but consider it beneath my dignity to give you a disagree for yours!

: The part about stages of life is explained in the next part of the sentence, your translation of the question asked is perfectly reasonable, and I think ontogenetic should be left in, since it's in keeping with the register of the source text.

though it may be affected depending on the stage of life it is in/ its stage of life
Based on the context.
The English translation of "ontogénico" is 'ontogenetic' - see definition:
Main Entry:on£to£ge£net£ic
Pronunciation:|*nt*j*|ned.ik
Function:adjective
Etymology:International Scientific Vocabulary, from New Latin ontogenesis, after such pairs as Late Latin antithesis : antitheticus antithetical
1 : of or relating to ontogeny
2 : based on visible morphological characters and not necessarily indicative of natural evolutionary relationships *an ontogenetic key to the Lygaeidae*
**3 : appearing in the course of ontogenetic development : INDIVIDUAL *ontogenetic traits* *an ontogenetic modification* **

although its individual development may be impacted
It partly depends on the register of the ST, & on the intended readership. The basic meaning of ontogeny: "Ontogeny pertains to the developmental history of an organism within its own lifetime, as distinct from phylogeny, which refers to the evolutionary history of a species." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontogeny)
If the readers are all evolutionary biologists, maybe "ontogenetic development" is appropriate. If for a more general readership, "individual development" may work fine.
