Description

Many species of dart frogs exhibit some degree of parental care. But new research has shown a new level of parental care in Ranitomeya imitator, that far exceed anything we have ever imagined. Through her research, Dr. Jen Moss has been able to understand a new complexity within the calls of Ranitomeya imitator that redefine our understanding amphibian parental behavior.It's my pleasure to have Jen as my guest this week and we discuss her new paper, "Evolution of Acoustic Signals Associated with Cooperative Parental Behavior in a Poison Frog."  We discuss her findings, the methods and technology she used, the implications of her findings, and what the future holds as she opens her own lab.To learn more please visit:https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2218956120https://www.ekfischerlab.comhttps://www.jenmosslab.comTo Support the Podcast by becoming a patron, for merch, and for a 10 percent discount of an In Situ Ecosystem vivarium, visit : https://linktr.ee/AmphibiCast
