Exciting new work in poison frogs will incorporate collaborative and interdisciplinary perspectives to elucidate patterns and mechanisms of behavior and evolution. For example, we will likely see research on learning and memory in the context of parental care, the evolution of complex behavior, ...
The poison dart frog conservation status varies widely, depending on the species. Some species, such as the dyeing poison frog (Dendobates tinctorius) are classified by the IUCN as "least concern" and enjoy a stable population. Others, such as Summer's poison frog (Ranitomeya summersi), are...
Like most frog species, their skin is smooth and damp, and they have webbed toes. Evolution Their life-threatening toxins and picturesque patterns are the most notable traits poison dart frogs have adapted. ©Dirk Ercken/Shutterstock.com It is believed that Poison dart frogs first began to ...
While recent work exploring the co-evolution of single alkaloids and proteins that support resistance is important, examining the myriad interactions between poison-frog alkaloids and resistance-conferring proteins is essential for a more complete understanding. We conclude by pointing out how answering ...

The blue poison dart frog is a kind of colorful frog that is found in one small area on Earth. Come learn about how this frog got its name, where...
suggests similar pattern of selection between duplicated genes to the one presented inLeptodacylus(which follows a model of concerted evolution between duplicate genes and purifying selection acting on the CTS resistance sites). To evaluate this hypothesis, however, robust phylogenetic analysis at the ...
