Parents can influence offspring dispersal through breeding site selection, competition, or by directly moving their offspring during parental care. Many animals move their young, but the potential role of this behavior in dispersal has rarely been investigated. Neotropical poison frogs (Dendrobatidae) are well known for shuttling their tadpoles from land to water, but the associated movements have rarely been quantified and the potential function of tadpole transport in dispersal has not been addressed. We used miniature radio-transmitters to track the movements of two poison frog species during tadpole transport, and surveyed pool availability in the study area. We found that parental males move farther than expected by the distance to the nearest pool and spread their offspring across multiple pools. We argue that these movement patterns cannot be fully explained by pool quality and availability, and suggest that adaptive benefits related to offspring dispersal also shape the spatial behavior of parental frogs.

From habitat use to social behavior : natural history of a voiceless poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius
Rojas, Bibiana; Pašukonis, Andrius (PeerJ, Ltd., 2019)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 ... -
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 ... -
Communication between the tadpoles of the dyeing poison frog Dendrobates tinctorius (Anura, Dendrobatidae)
Kumpulainen, Nina (2022)Eläimet tarvitsevat kommunikointia eri tarkoituksiin, kuten parin muodostukseen, saalistajan havaitsemiseen ja reviirin hallintaan. Kemiallinen kommunikointi on kommunikoinnin muodoista vanhin ja yleisin. Sammakkoeläimet, ... -
Aposematism facilitates the diversification of parental care strategies in poison frogs
Carvajal-Castro, Juan D.; Vargas-Salinas, Fernando; Casas-Cardona, Santiago; Rojas, Bibiana; Santos, Juan C. (Nature Publishing Group, 2021)Many organisms have evolved adaptations to increase the odds of survival of their offspring. Parental care has evolved several times in animals including ectotherms. In amphibians, ~ 10% of species exhibit parental care. ... -
The joint evolution of learning and dispersal maintains intraspecific diversity in metapopulations
Liedtke, Jannis; Fromhage, Lutz (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)The evolution of dispersal tendencies and of cognitive abilities have both been intensely studied. Yet little attention has been given to the question of how these two aspects may relate to each other, as a result of their ...
