While some species synthesize g enetically encoded toxins\, others acquire them from their environment. Po ison frogs acquire chemical defenses from ants and mites in the rainforest leaf litter and have evolved specialized physiological adaptations for to xin bioaccumulation\, modification\, and resistance. I will discuss work f rom my lab that suggests local adaptation of poison frogs to their environ mental chemical resources and the physiological mechanisms that allow toxi n uptake. I will also discuss how chemical defenses have driven the divers ification of reproductive behavior. Broadly\, this work is contributing to our knowledge of how ecological resources shape animal physiology\, behav ior\, and evolution.\n\nThis seminar will be given online via Zoom. Detail s in attached poster.\n DTSTART:20201016T150000Z DTEND:20201016T160000Z SUMMARY:Online Seminar - Pick your poison: physiology of chemical defenses in poison frogs URL:/physiology/channels/event/online-seminar-pick-you r-poison-physiology-chemical-defenses-poison-frogs-323350 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
