An Analysis of Predator Selection to Affect Aposematic Coloration in a Poison Frog Species.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Dreher Corinna E, Cummings Molly E, Pröhl Heike

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection is widely noted to drive divergence of phenotypic traits. Predation pressure can facilitate morphological divergence, for example the evolution of both cryptic and conspicuous coloration in animals. In this context Dendrobatid frogs have been used to study evolutionary forces inducing diversity in protective coloration. The polytypic strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio) shows strong...
