Genomic diversification between aposematic and cryptic phenotypes of Oophaga granulifera (Anura: Dendrobatidae).

Abstract excerpt

Aposematism and crypsis are contrasting antipredator strategies widespread across animal taxa, yet their genetic basis remains poorly understood in amphibians. Aposematic species advertise toxicity through conspicuous coloration, whereas cryptic species rely on concealment to avoid predators. The granular poison frog, Oophaga granulifera, with allopatric aposematic (red) and cryptic (green) morphs, provides an...
