Warning signal properties covary with toxicity but not testosterone or aggregate carotenoids in a poison frog
Aposematic (warning) coloration is a highly conspicuous trait that is found throughout the animal kingdom. In several aposematic… (More)

Evidence of maternal provisioning of alkaloid-based chemical defenses in the strawberry poison frog Oophaga pumilio.
Many organisms use chemical defenses to reduce predation risk. Aposematic dendrobatid frogs sequester alkaloid-based chemical… (More)

Maternally derived chemical defences are an effective deterrent against some predators of poison frog tadpoles (Oophaga pumilio).
Parents defend their young in many ways, including provisioning chemical defences. Recent work in a poison frog system offers the… (More)

Field but not lab paradigms support generalisation by predators of aposematic polymorphic prey: the Oophaga histrionica complex
The persistence of novel aposematic forms, and thereby the evolution of aposematic polymorphism, remain intriguing. Novel and… (More)

Loss of conspicuous coloration has co-evolved with decreased body size in populations of poison dart frogs
Larger signal size is known to facilitate the learning process of predators to warning signals. Further, smaller objects are… (More)
