For Monday (2/15/16) please read the attached paper “Social and reproductive behavior in the Madagascan poison frog, Mantella laevigata, with comparisons to the dendrobatids.
While reading pay attention to behavior observations and convergent traits with the dendrobatids. Also, what about M. laevigata differs from other Mantellas? Try and think of reasons why M. laevigata has developed traits not seen in the rest of the Genus.
Answer the following questions for class;
1.) The author mentions several convergent traits that Mantella laevigata what are they? What dendrobatids does the author mention have similar behaviors in reproduction
2.) Based on the reproduction discussed how would you classify the breeding behavior of M. laevigata
3.) Come
