Abstract

Data Collection Methods Study organism-Dendrobates tinctorius is a neotropical poison frog that transports their recently hatched larvae to ephemeral pools of water. In addition to the risk of desiccation, tadpoles face predation by their cannibalistic conspecifics, as well from heterospecifics (e.g. Odonate naiads) that occur in these pools (Rojas, 2014; 2015). The larval period lasts
