Behavioural, ecological, and evolutionary aspects of diversity in frog colour patterns
B Rojas - Biological Reviews, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The role of colours and colour patterns in behavioural ecology has been extensively studied
in a variety of contexts and taxa, while almost overlooked in many others. For decades …

Just Google it: assessing the use of Google Images to describe geographical variation in visible traits of organisms
Describing spatial patterns of phenotypic traits can be important for evolutionary and
ecological studies. However, traditional approaches, such as fieldwork, can be time …

Differential detectability of polymorphic warning signals under varying light environments
The striking colour-pattern variation of some aposematic species is paradoxical because
selection by predators is expected to favour signal uniformity. Although the mechanisms …

Being red, blue and green: the genetic basis of coloration differences in the strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio)
Background Animal coloration is usually an adaptive attribute, under strong local selection
pressures and often diversified among species or populations. The strawberry poison frog …

Not everything is black and white: color and behavioral variation reveal a continuum between cryptic and aposematic strategies in a polymorphic poison frog
Aposematism and crypsis are often viewed as two extremes of a continuum of visual
conspicuousness to predators. Theory predicts that behavioral and coloration …

The birth of aposematism: High phenotypic divergence and low genetic diversity in a young clade of poison frogs
Rapid radiation coupled with low genetic divergence often hinders species delimitation and
phylogeny estimation even if putative species are phenotypically distinct. Some aposematic …

Not just the river: genes, shapes, and sounds reveal population-structured diversification in the Amazonian frog Allobates tapajos (Dendrobatoidea)
In the Amazon basin, the distribution of many vertebrate species is delimited by large rivers,
which are frequently considered as biogeographical barriers strongly related to the origin …
