Conservation Status: Least Concern to Critically Endangered Species There are over 170 species and 13 genera of poison dart frogs. Although collectively known as "poison dart frogs," only four species in the genusPhyllobateswere documented as used to poison blowdart tips. Some species are nonpois...
We describe and name a new species of poison-dart frog from the Amazonian slopes of the Andes in Manu Province, Madre de Dios Department, Peru; specifically within the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve and the buffer zone of Manu National Park. Ameerega shihuemoy sp. nov. is supported by a uniqu...
The green and black poison frog was introduced in Hawaii by humans. It is also the only species found there. Conservation Status Although the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed these frogs as vulnerable, there are some species like the golden poison dart and blue ...
poison frogs are among the most toxic animals on Earth. The poison from certain species historically has been used on the tips of hunting darts and arrows, giving the group its other common name, “poison dart frogs.” There is no evidence, however, that the dyeing poison frog was used fo...
conservation statusThe poison-dart frog Phyllobates terribilis is currently classified as endangered or critically endangered due to its extremely restricted geographic distribution and intensive smuggling by pet traffickers. Based on molecular data, we here report two new localities representing a 60 km ...
extracellular loop are responsible for the differential CTS affinity among paralogous and orthologous isoforms within and between species (Mohammadi et al.2022a). Consistent with these studies, the extracellular L1/2 loop has most of the variability among poison dart frog α-NKA isoforms (Fig.2)....

Describing natural history of species is important because it would allow us to corroborate hypotheses about evolutionary biology and improve conservations plans. We describe the advertisement call, tadpole morphology, and other natural history aspects of the poison frog Andinobates daleswansoni, an ...
