Phenotypic divergence across populations does not affect habitat selection in an Amazonian poison frog by Martin Mayer, Lia Schlippe Justicia, Bibiana Rojas

“…We hypothesized that habitat selection differs (1) among populations containing different variants, predicting that larger-bodied frogs are less dependent on moisture-retaining structures; (2) between disturbed and pristine areas, predicting frogs in disturbed areas being more reliant on structural diversity and water bodies; and (3) between males and females, predicting stronger differences in habitat selection in populations with greater sexual size dimorphism. …”
