Oophaga Pumilio
''Oophaga'' is a genus of poison-dart frogs containing twelve species, many of which were formerly placed in the genus '' Dendrobates''. The frogs are distributed in Central and South America, from Nicaragua through the Colombian El Choco to northern Ecuador (at elevations below ). Their habitats vary with some species being arboreal while other being terrestrial, but the common feature is that their tadpoles are obligate egg feeders. Etymology ''Oophaga'', Greek for "egg eater" (''oon'', '), is descriptive of the tadpoles' diet.Zimmermann, E. and Zimmermann, H. 1994.

Strawberry Poison-dart Frog
The strawberry poison frog, strawberry poison-dart frog or blue jeans poison frog (''Oophaga pumilio'', formerly ''Dendrobates pumilio'') is a species of small poison dart frog found in Central America. It is common throughout its range, which extends from eastern central Nicaragua through Costa Rica and northwestern Panama. The species is often found in humid lowlands and premontane forest, but large populations are also found in disturbed areas such as plantations.Savage, J. M. 2002. The Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica. University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London. The strawberry poison frog is perhaps most famous for its widespread variation in coloration, comprising approximately 15–30 color morphs, most of which are presumed to be true-breeding. ''O. pumilio'', while not the most poisonous of the dendrobatids, is the most toxic member of its genus. Diet The diet of ''O. pumilio'' causes the skin of the amphibian to become toxic in nature when certain subspec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vicente's Poison Frog
Vicente's poison frog (''Oophaga vicentei'') is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae that is endemic to the Veraguas and Coclé Provinces of central Panama. It is a little known arboreal frog that inhabits humid tropical lowland and montane forest. Vicente's poison frog breeds in arboreal vegetation, and the parents transport the tadpoles to vegetation-bound water pools in bromeliads to develop. As the generic name ''Oophaga'' indicates, this and related species also practice a particular form of oophagy Oophagy ( ) sometimes ovophagy, literally "egg eating", is the practice of embryos feeding on eggs produced by the ovary while still inside the mother's uterus. The word oophagy is formed from the classical Greek (, "egg") and classical Greek (, ..., where the mother deposits special nutritive eggs for the larvae to consume.

Diablito Poison Frog
''Oophaga sylvatica'', sometimes known as its Spanish name diablito, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae found in Southwestern Colombia and Northwestern Ecuador. Its natural habitat is lowland and submontane rainforest; it can, however, survive in moderately degraded areas, at least in the more humid parts of its range. It is a very common frog in Colombia, but has disappeared from much of its Ecuadorian range. It is threatened by habitat loss (deforestation) and agricultural pollution and sometimes seen in the international pet trade. This species occurs in several Polymorphism (biology), color morphs. For example, the Bilsa Biological Station (operated by the Jatun Sacha Foundation) boasts three color morphs—red, yellow, and orange—within their 3000-ha protected area located within Ecuador's Mache and Chindul coastal mountain ranges. Description ''Oophaga sylvatica'' only displays sexual dimorphism in body size, as both males and females typically have a ...

Dendrobates Sylvaticus PLoS
''Dendrobates'' is a genus of poison dart frogs native to Central and South America. It once contained numerous species, but most originally placed in this genus have been split off into other genera such as ''Adelphobates'', ''Ameerega'', '' Andinobates'', ''Epipedobates'', ''Excidobates'', ''Oophaga'', ''Phyllobates'' and ''Ranitomeya'' (essentially all the brightly marked poison dart frogs; i.e. excluding the duller genera in the family like ''Colostethus'' and ''Hyloxalus ''Hyloxalus'' is a genus of poison dart frogs, family Dendrobatidae.

Strawberry Dart Frog
The garden strawberry (or simply strawberry; ''Fragaria × ananassa'') is a widely grown Hybrid (biology), hybrid species of the genus ''Fragaria'', collectively known as the strawberries, which are cultivated worldwide for their fruit. The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as fruit preserves, jam, juice, pies, ice cream, milkshakes, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavorings and aromas are also widely used in products such as candy, soap, lip gloss, perfume, and many others. The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of ''Virginia strawberry, Fragaria virginiana'' from eastern North America and ''Fragaria chiloensis'', which was brought from Chile by Amédée-François Frézier in 1714. Cultivars of ''Fragaria'' × ''ananassa'' have replaced, in commercial production, the woodland straw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
La Brea Poison Frog
The La Brea poison frog (''Oophaga occultator'', formerly ''Dendrobates occultator'') is a species of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae endemic to the Cordillera Occidental in the Cauca Department of Colombia. This species lives mainly on the ground in undisturbed, lowland rainforest, but it can also be found perching on leaves at different levels above the ground. There are no degraded habitats within its tiny known range, and so its adaptability to secondary habitats is unknown. There is no information on its breeding habits, but it is likely to be similar to ''Oophaga histrionica'', where the eggs are laid on the ground, and the tadpoles are transported to bromeliad The Bromeliaceae (the bromeliads) are a family of monocot flowering plants of about 80 genera and 3700 known species, native mainly to the tropical Americas, with several species found in the American subtropics and one in tropical west Africa, ...s by the female.
