The role of predator selection on polymorphic aposematic poison frogs.

Biology letters - 23 Feb 2009

Noonan Brice P, Comeault Aaron A

Abstract excerpt

Demonstrations of interactions between diverse selective forces on bright coloration in defended species are rare. Recent work has suggested that not only do the bright colours of Neotropical poison frogs serve to deter predators, but they also play a role in sexual selection, with females prefer...
