- Survival and Behavior of Amphibians in a Seasonally Flooded Tropical Forest
Todd R. Lewis, Paul B. C. Grant, Rowland K. Griffin et al. · Biotropica · 2026-07 · open access
ABSTRACT Amphibians are globally affected by climate change. In tropical environments, population decline are hard to decipher due to a lack of baseline data. This study examined amphibian survival during seasonal flooding in a lowland tropical wet forest on the edge of a canal in northeast Costa…

- Predator perception of aposematic and cryptic color morphs in two Oophaga species.
Mantzana-Oikonomaki V, Rodríguez A, Castillo-Tamayo G et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2024-09 · open access
Animals that are toxic often advertise their unprofitability to potential predators through bright aposematic colors while cryptic ones blend in with their natural background to avoid predators. In the poison dart frogs, Oophaga pumilio and O. granulifera, some populations in Costa Rica and Panama…
- Do sexes differ in consistent individual differences and behavioural syndrome in an aposematic poison frog?
Ricardo Cossio, Roberto Ibáñez, A. Rodríguez et al. · Journal of Zoology · 2024-03 · open access
- Little evidence for color- or size-based mating preferences by male strawberry poison frogs (Oophaga pumilio)
M. Lehman, Marco González-Santoro, Corinne L. Richards‐Zawacki · Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology · 2024-02 · open access
Abstract While there are many studies documenting female mating preferences across taxa, male mate choice remains relatively understudied. Male mate choice often develops when there is variation in female quality and thus the fitness benefits of mating with particular females. Specifically, males…

- A natural experiment identifies an impending ecological trap for a neotropical amphibian in response to extreme weather events.
Clark MA, Ota WM, Smith SJ et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2022-04 · open access
INTRODUCTION Natural experiments offer a method to understand ecological outcomes that would otherwise be nearly impossible to experimentally execute due to practical or ethical limitations. Often the result of an unintended or catastrophic event, natural experiments provide a means to evaluate the…

- Being red, blue and green: the genetic basis of coloration differences in the strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio).
Rodríguez A, Mundy NI, Ibáñez R et al. · BMC genomics · 2020-04 · open access
Background Animal coloration is usually an adaptive attribute, under strong local selection pressures and often diversified among species or populations. The strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio) shows an impressive array of color morphs across its distribution in Central America. Here we…
