The process of adaptive radiation—the proliferation of species from a single ancestor and
diversification into many ecologically different forms—has been of great interest to …

The evidentiary basis of the currently accepted classification of living amphibians is
discussed and shown not to warrant the degree of authority conferred on it by use and …

The known diversity of dart-poison frog species has grown from 70 in the 1960s to 247 at
present, with no sign that the discovery of new species will wane in the foreseeable future …

We developed an approach that combines distribution data, environmental geographic
information system layers, environmental niche models, and phylogenetic information to …

Despite the impressive growth of knowledge on the phylogenetic systematics of dart-poison
frogs and their relatives (Dendrobatoidea) over the past decade, many problems remain to …

Prey seldom rely on a single type of antipredator defence, often using multiple defences to
avoid predation. In many cases, selection in different contexts may favour the evolution of …

The Neotropics contains half of remaining rainforests and Earth's largest reservoir of
amphibian biodiversity. However, determinants of Neotropical biodiversity (ie, vicariance …

Microbial pigments play multiple roles in the ecosystem construction, survival, and fitness of
all kinds of organisms. Considerably, microbial (bacteria, fungi, yeast, and microalgae) …

How social aggregations arise and persist is central to our understanding of evolution,
