An Analysis of Predator Selection to Affect Aposematic Coloration in a Poison Frog Species.
Natural selection is widely noted to drive divergence of phenotypic traits. Predation pressure can facilitate morphological divergence, for example the evolution of both cryptic and conspicuous coloration in animals. In this context Dendrobatid frogs have been used to study evolutionary forces induc...
