The findings of this study indicate that oribatid mites, and in particular, members of the genus Scheloribates, represent a relatively unexplored arthropod repository for alkaloids and a significant dietary source of alkaloid-containing arthropods in poison frogs.

GC-MS analysis of single-skins of ten Melanophryniscus rubriventris toads captured during their breeding season in NW Argentina has revealed a total of 127 alkaloids of which 56 had not been previously detected in any frog or toad, Included among these new alkaloid are 23 new diastereomers of previously reported alkaloidal structures.
