Transcriptomic Signatures of Experimental Alkaloid Consumption in a Poison Frog

Transcriptomic Signatures of Experimental Alkaloid Consumption in a Poison Frog

In the anuran family Dendrobatidae, aposematic species obtain their toxic or unpalatable alkaloids from dietary sources, a process known as sequestering. To understand how toxicity evolved in this family, it is paramount to elucidate the pathways of alkaloid processing (absorption, metabolism, and s...
