The Dendrobatoidea are a superfamily of frogs.[1] This group is found in the Neotropics and has the largest diversity of alkaloids among all amphibians. These alkaloids show up in the skin by one of three ways: de novo biosynthesis, direct sequestration, or metabolic transformation.[2]
Taxonomy
Families:
- Aromobatidae (Grant et al., 2006)
- Dendrobatidae (Cope, 1865)
