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 consistency of behaviour in amphibians in two life stages. Specifically, I used the dyeing poison frog (Dendrobates tinctorius), a species who is cannibalistic during its larval stage, and transitions from an aquatic to terrestrial habitat across metamorphosis. The aim of my project was to find out if behaviour is consistent within larval and juvenile stages of D. tinctorius frogs. Based on previous studies showing consistency in amphibian behaviour, I investigated whether (1) D. tinctorius tadpoles have consistency in their aggressive behaviour; and (2) D. tinctorius individuals show consistency in activity after metamorphosis. During the frog’s larval stage, I conducted two aggression trials where individual behaviour was observed in the presence of a conspecific. Likewise, froglet behaviour was observed individually in
two consecutive trials where the movements of an individual were observed in a novel environment. No repeatability was found in larval behaviour. In juveniles,
activity was found to be repeatable at the family level. None of the studied behaviours was consistent at individual level. This study shows that there is some
behavioural consistency in D. tinctorius, but further research is needed in order to show repeatability at individual level, or across life stages.

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 ... -
Poison frog social behaviour under global change : potential impacts and future challenges
Schlippe Justicia, Lia; Fouilloux, Chloe A.; Rojas, Bibiana (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)The current and cascading effects of global change challenges the interactions both between animal individuals (i.e. social and sexual behaviour) and the environment they inhabit. Amphibians are an ecologically diverse ... -
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, ... -
Visible implant elastomer (VIE) success in early larval stages of a tropical amphibian species
Fouilloux, Chloe A.; Garcia-Costoya, Guillermo; Rojas, Bibiana (PeerJ, 2020)Animals are often difficult to distinguish at an individual level, and being able to identify individuals can be crucial in ecological or behavioral studies. In response to this challenge, biologists have developed a range ... -
Need for speed : short lifespan selects for increased learning ability
Liedtke, Jannis; Fromhage, Lutz (Nature Publishing Group, 2019)It is generally assumed that an investment into cognitive abilities and their associated cost is particularly beneficial for long-lived species, as a prolonged lifespan allows to recoup the initial investment. However, ...
