• ARTHROPOD ALKALOIDS IN POISON FROGS : A REVIEW OF THE 'DIETARY HYPOTHESIS' (2009, background): “…worldwide.1 Although arthropod sources had been identified for some of the alkaloid classes, “the vast majority of over 500 alkaloids (the current number now exceeds 800 alkaloids1) detected in frog skin extracts have not yet been identified from a possible dietary source” (Daly et al. 2000:7638).”
• Diet of Epipedobates flavopictus (Anura: Dendrobatidae) in a Neotropical Savanna (2004, background): “…(Daly et al., 1997), the absence of alkaloids in the skin of individuals raised in captivity (Daly et al., 1980, 1992), and the similarity between alkaloids found in the skin of some dendrobatids and arthropods (mostly ants) present in their diet (Daly et al., 1994, 2000; Jones et al., 1999).”
