Figures
Two members of the Neotropical frog family Dendrobatidae. (Left)Colostethus trilineatus. All members of this genus are cryptically colored. (Right)Epipedobates macero, a brightly colored and toxic member of the family. Research reported in this issue demonstrates that bright coloration and toxicity have evolved together many times in this family of frogs.
