The ability to sequester the alkaloid epibatidine is widespread among dendrobatid poison frogs
KR Waters, MB Dugas, T Grant, RA Saporito - Evolutionary Ecology, 2024 - Springer
Dendrobatid poison frogs sequester alkaloids from an arthropod diet and use them in
chemical defense. Alkaloid defenses vary considerably within and among species, with …
