The paper investigates sex-reversed parental care in poison frogs, finding that female care propensity is influenced by partner cues and individual variation, with distinct gene expression patterns in non-caregiving females.

The paper develops statistical methods to analyze gene coexpression networks in small samples and applies them to guppies, finding network differences across developmental and evolutionary timescales.

This study examines the development of the glucocorticoid stress response in dyeing poison frog tadpoles and finds it develops early in ontogeny, differing from other species due to unique ecological pressures.

The paper examines behavioral shifts in invasive coqui frogs across their range and under laboratory conditions, finding convergent behavioral phenotypes suggesting environmental adaptation and flexibility.

This study examines consistent individual differences in behavior and context-dependent responses in Dendrobates tinctorius poison frogs, finding repeatability in activity and exploration but context-specificity in boldness.

This study examines how timing of maternal glucocorticoid exposure affects offspring brain gene expression in wild red squirrels, finding timing-dependent effects on neural gene transcription.

This study investigates posterior toe tapping in Dendrobates tinctorius, finding that tap rate is modulated by social context, prey accessibility, and substrate characteristics, suggesting a role in prey detection and capture.

The paper investigates whether poison frog females recognize and prefer their mate's vocalizations, using playback experiments and behavioral responses.

The paper investigates neural activity differences in poison frog tadpoles that win, lose, or avoid fights, finding distinct patterns in brain regions associated with aggression.

The paper examines hormonal and neural correlates of parental care in poison frogs, finding that neural activity patterns, not hormones or gene expression, correlate with active parental behavior in both sexes.

The paper investigates convergent maternal provisioning in poison frogs, finding shared brain regions but distinct molecular mechanisms in nursing behavior.
