Descriptive studies of natural history have always been a source of knowledge on which experimental work and scientific progress rely. Poison frogs are a well-studied group of small Neotropical frogs with diverse parental behaviors, distinct calls, and bright colors that warn predators about their toxicity; and a showcase of advances in fundamental biology through natural history observations. The dyeing poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius, is emblematic of the Guianas region, widespread in the pet-trade, and increasingly popular in research. This species shows several unusual behaviors, such as the lack of advertisement calls and the aggregation around tree-fall gaps, which remain poorly described and understood. Here, we summarize our observations from a natural population of D. tinctorius in French Guiana collected over various field trips between 2009 and 2017; our aim is to provide groundwork for future fundamental and applied research spanning parental care, animal dispersal, disease spread, habitat use in relation to color patterns, and intra specific communication, to name a few. We report sex differences in habitat use and the striking invasion of tree-fall gaps; describe their courtship and aggressive behaviors; document egg development and tadpole transport; and discuss how the knowledge generated by this study could set the grounds for further research on the behavior, ecology, and conservation of this species.

Original data for article: Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE) success in early larval stages of a tropical amphibian species
Fouilloux, Chloe; Garcia-Costoya, Guillermo; Rojas, Bibiana (University of Jyväskylä, Open Science Centre. jyx@jyu.fi, 2020)Animals are often difficult to distinguish at an individual level, but being able to identify individuals can be crucial in ecological or behavioral studies. In response to this challenge, biologists have developed a range ... -

Intraspecific divergence of sexual size dimorphism and reproductive strategies in a polytypic poison frog
Schlippe, Justicia Lia; Mayer, Martin; Lorioux-Chevalier, Ugo; Dittrich, Carolin; Rojas, Bibiana; Chouteau, Mathieu (Springer, 2023)Intraspecific variation in body size, both among populations and between sexes, is an important factor influencing life-history strategies. This variation might be the response to different environmental conditions, as ... -
Semi-natural habitats in boreal Europe : a rise of a social-ecological research agenda
Herzon, Irina; Raatikainen, Kaisa J.; Wehn, Sølvi; Rūsiņa, Solvita; Helm, Aveliina; Cousins, Sara A. O.; Rašomavičius, Valerijus (Resilience Alliance, Inc., 2021)The European continent contains substantial areas of semi-natural habitats, mostly grasslands, which are among the most endangered habitats in Europe. Their continued existence depends on some form of human activity, for ... -
Behavioural consistency in the dyeing poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius
Alanen, Emmi (2020)The behaviour of an individual organism is a combination of previous experiences and genetic factors. In some situations, a behaviour of an individual may be repeatable or consistent. For my Master’s thesis, I studied the ...
