Aposematism facilitates the diversification of parental care strategies in poison frogs
Many organisms have evolved adaptations to increase the odds of survival of their offspring.
Parental care has evolved several times in animals including ectotherms. In amphibians …

Evolutionary causes and consequences of sequential polyandry in anuran amphibians
Among anuran amphibians (frogs and toads), there are two types of polyandry:
simultaneous polyandry, where sperm from multiple males compete to fertilize eggs, and …

Tadpole transport logistics in a Neotropical poison frog: indications for strategic planning and adaptive plasticity in anuran parental care
Introduction Individuals should aim to adjust their parental behaviours in order to maximize
the success of their offspring but minimize associated costs. Plasticity in parental care is well …

[HTML][HTML] The significance of spatial memory for water finding in a tadpole-transporting frog
The ability to associate environmental cues with valuable resources strongly increases the
chances of finding them again, and thus memory often guides animal movement. For …

Flexible compensation of uniparental care: female poison frogs take over when males disappear
Parental care systems are shaped by costs and benefits to each sex of investing into current
versus future progeny. Flexible compensatory parental care is mainly known in biparental …

Odor cues rather than personality affect tadpole deposition in a neotropical poison frog
Animals constantly need to evaluate available external and internal information to make
appropriate decisions. Identifying, assessing, and acting on relevant cues in contexts such …

Personality traits differentially affect components of reproductive success in a Neotropical poison frog
Individual reproductive success has several components, including the acquisition of mating
partners, offspring production, and offspring survival until adulthood. While the effects of …
