Abstract

The poison frog family Dendrobatidae has radiated into over 300 species throughout the past 30 million years, occupying the majority of neotropical forest habitats. Species in this group have diversified widely in multiple aspects of their biology such as predator avoidance and parental care strategies, reproductive ecology, chemical ecology, and elevational range. This diversification has been ma…
