Explore the fascinating world of poison frogs' chemical defense mechanisms in this comprehensive lecture by Dr. Taran Grant from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Delve into the unique characteristics of amphibians, focusing on their thin, permeable skin and the challenges it poses in protecting them from predators, parasites, and pathogens in moist environments. Discover how poison frogs, unlike most amphibians, have adapted to sequester defensive chemicals from their food rather than producing their own. Gain insights into Dr. Grant's research findings and learn about the intricate relationship between these remarkable creatures and their environment.
