An investigation of alkaloid sequestration by the poison frog Dendrobates auratus when fed the fire ant Solenopsis invicta
Davison, Ian (East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Poison frogs are known for their bright coloration, parental care, and defensive toxins. Over 850 different alkaloids have been discovered in the skin of poison frogs. The alkaloid defenses are acquired from a specialized ... -
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
Stuckert, Adam M. M.; Moore, Emily; Coyle, Kaitlin P.; Davison, Ian; MacManes, Matthew D.; Roberts, Reade; Summers, Kyle (2019-04-18)Abstract Background Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration ... -

Stuckert, Adam M. M.; Moore, Emily; Coyle, Kaitlin P.; Davison, Ian; MacManes, Matthew D.; Roberts, Reade; Summers, Kyle (2019-04-18)Background: Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration are still poorly characterized, especially at the genomic ...
