A new study reveals that an egg-laying species of worm-like amphibian nourishes its young with a lipid-rich, milk-like substance. The findings report previously unobserved behavior and offer new insight into the species’ parental care and communication. scim.ag/68z

New poison frog paper alert 🐸🚨 We have good evidence that females of the poison frog Oophaga pumilio show mate preferences for males of their own color. But do males show the same preferences for females? Check out our paper to learn more: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
