Figure legends
Figure 1. A: Lateral and dorsal view of three larval of
phyllomedusinae used as study models and diagrams with reference color
codes of the tadpoles; B: dorsal and lateral view of P. vaillantitadpoles indicating areas from which color measurements were obtained in
the three species.
Figure 2. Distribution of two species of phyllomedusine frog
larvae along the water column under experimental conditions.
Figure 3. Relationship between body length and back
conspicuousness (green) and interocular patch (orange) of three species
of phyllomedusine frog larvae.
Figure 4. Palatability of three species of phyllomedusine frog
larvae, measured as the proportion of larvae that were predated by
odonates (N = 18 P. vaillanti , N = 9 P. bicolor , N = 11C. tomopterna ).
Figure 5. Differences in toxicity and conspicuousness in three
species of phyllomedusine frog larvae (P.vaillanti, P. bicolorand C. tomopterna ). Saline injection was used as a negative
toxicity control measure. The black dots indicate the median and the
horizontal bars the 95% confidence intervals.
Figure 6. Correlation between toxicity and conspicuousness in
three species of phyllomedusine frog larvae. The PC1 represents the
conspicuousness of the back of the body and PC2 the conspicuousness of
the interocular patch.
