A review of chemical ecology in poison frogs

RA Saporito, MA Donnelly, TF Spande, HM Garraffo - Chemoecology, 2012 - Springer
Herein we review what is known about the chemical ecology of poison frogs with a focus on
dendrobatid poison frogs. While five anuran families are known to have an alkaloid-derived …

Diversity in warning coloration: selective paradox or the norm?

ES Briolat, ER Burdfield‐Steel, SC Paul… - Biological …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Aposematic theory has historically predicted that predators should select for warning signals
to converge on a single form, as a result of frequency‐dependent learning. However …

A large-scale phylogeny of Amphibia including over 2800 species, and a revised classification of extant frogs, salamanders, and caecilians

RA Pyron, JJ Wiens - Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2011 - Elsevier

Underestimation of species richness in Neotropical frogs revealed by mtDNA analyses

A Fouquet, A Gilles, M Vences, C Marty, M Blanc… - PLoS one, 2007 - journals.plos.org
Background Amphibians are rapidly vanishing. At the same time, it is most likely that the
number of amphibian species is highly underestimated. Recent DNA barcoding work has …
