Hylidae is a large family of American, Australopapuan, and temperate Eurasian treefrogs of
approximately 870 known species, divided among four subfamilies. Although some groups …

The study of pigmentation has played an important role in the intersection of evolution,
genetics, and developmental biology. Pigmentation's utility as a visible phenotypic marker …

The evidentiary basis of the currently accepted classification of living amphibians is
discussed and shown not to warrant the degree of authority conferred on it by use and …

The known diversity of dart-poison frog species has grown from 70 in the 1960s to 247 at
present, with no sign that the discovery of new species will wane in the foreseeable future …

Despite the impressive growth of knowledge on the phylogenetic systematics of dart-poison
frogs and their relatives (Dendrobatoidea) over the past decade, many problems remain to …

The human genome project has been recently complemented by whole-genome
assessment sequence of 32 mammals and 24 nonmammalian vertebrate species suitable …

Herein we review what is known about the chemical ecology of poison frogs with a focus on
dendrobatid poison frogs. While five anuran families are known to have an alkaloid-derived …

The role of colours and colour patterns in behavioural ecology has been extensively studied
in a variety of contexts and taxa, while almost overlooked in many others. For decades …

Brightly colored poison frogs of the family Dendrobatidae contain an alkaloid-based
chemical defense against predation. The bright coloration of these frogs is generally …

The Neotropical poison frog genus Ranitomeya is revised, resulting in one new genus, one
new species, five synonymies and one species classified as nomen dubium. We present an …
