Testes size seen through the glass of amphibian care

Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Apr 9:S0169-5347(24)00083-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.04.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the great diversity of parental care types found in amphibians, studies linking them to post-copulatory sexually selected traits are scarce, presumably due to a lack of data. Valencia-Aguilar et al. used fieldwork and museum collections to show that paternal care appears to trade-off with testes size in glass frogs.PMID:38599935 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2024.04.001
