“In all works on Natural History, we constantly find details of the marvellous adaptation of animals to their food, their habits, and the localities in which they are found.”

Alfred Russel Wallace (1853)

Edited photos are from the presumed hybridization zone of Dendrobates tinctorius (Schlippe Justicia et al. 2023). The Les Nouragues population exhibits impressive variation both in the size and diversity of their dorsal aposematic signal, and these differences appear to be sex-independent. Adults’ limbs can range from a bright blue to a vibrant yellow to a beautiful mottled combination of the two. A similar diversity exists in ventral patterns that are also distinctive of this population. All frogs pictured above were captured by CAF throughout 2020/2022.
