message: Someone disambiguated the fruit flies link (in Toxicity) to point to Tephritidae. However, the Tephritidae content indicates that Drosophilia are not members of Tephritidae.
See, the thing is, the vast majority of captive dart frogs are fed either Drosophilia melanogaster or Drosophilia hydeii, chosen specifically because there are flightless varieties available (these frogs do not hunt flying insects well).
I'm fixing the link.--Leperflesh 02:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: i think we should mention that while poison dart frog as pets are becoming quite popular, it is extremely wrong and almost always extracted from their natural habitats illegaly, and could even present a danger to local populations since amphibious habitats are receding at an alarming pace, this sort of activity only makes it worse
::The vast majority of domestically-available posion dart frogs are bred in captivity, and not wild-caught. Futher, these are CITES:2 species, meaning that their export is allowed under various circumstances. In other words: your point is not a neutral point of view. It might be worth referencing specific information (if it exists) about to what degree these particular frogs are poached from the wild? --Leperflesh 03:09, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Captivity 

message: Unless someone objects, I intend to extract the comprehensive and long list of species, and make a new page for them - "List of Dendrobatid Species" or maybe "List of Poison Dart Frog Species". Some other wiki articles about families tend to export long lists of species in this manner. Really each list of species belongs in its relevant genera page, but many genera pages don't exist yet either. Any objections? --Leperflesh 01:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are very little genera articles for Dendrobatids. It is probably better to create those articles than to create a list. But either way, it is better than having it on this page, this page will end up with more info later, and it will be better not having a long list in the taxonomy section. --liquidGhoul 03:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Thanks, but, isn't it premature to assume that this just-published study (August 15, 2006) represents the new, accepted taxonomy? I think we should comment pages, but not make drastic changes reflecting the new ordering, until there has been time for any objections to a new taxonomy to settle out. Most importantly, we do not want to create a situation where the commonly accepted genus/species names of animals no longer work for people searching for them in wikipedia. At most, older designations must redirect to the newly-named pages. The changes you made to the taxobox mean nobody can now navigate from Dendrobates down to Nephelobates, for example, even though that's where those species are currently listed. Reacting to every article adjusting taxonomy, as soon as it is published, is (in my view) a recipe for disaster, particluarly if the entire job is not done at once. --Leperflesh 00:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of Species 

message: In attempting to research Minyobates genus, it seems this genus may be synonymous with the Dentrobates genus. See: Amphibian Species of the World. Note also that in addition to Minyobates steyermarki, we have Dendrobates steyermarki. this page lists 8 Dendrobates species, each with the synonym Minyobates. However, that they list only 8 of the (at least) 40 Dendrobates species indicates this reference is incomplete. Dendrobates synonymy reference (again from Amphibian Species of the World) again indicates that 'Minyobates' is circa 1987, Myers, but that "This synonymy considered tentative by Daly, Garraffo, Spande, Clark, Ma, and Ziffer, 2003, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 100: 11095.".
It would seem that members of Dendrobatidae are under some degree of taxonomic flux, these last couple of decades. What should Wikipedia pages do, when there is controversy over taxonomy? --Leperflesh 23:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All frogs are basically under a taxonomic flux, it is a fact of life really. What we tend to do, is create the articles for what is accepted (in this case Dendrobates, and not Minyobates), and then describe in the article that there is contention with the taxonomy, and that some people place some of the speices within the Minyobates genus. --liquidGhoul 23:40, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minyobates 

message: I have noticed that nearly all the species' articles within this family are named by their scientific name. According to the Tree of Life naming conventions, articles should be named by their common name. If no common name is available, then they should be named by their scientific name. I would like to reach a consensus in the one place, so as to not split up the conversation. If we reach consensus, I will move the articles. Anyway, here are the articles, and what I wish to name them:
*Colostethus flotator --> Rainforest Rocket Frog
*Dendrobates auratus --> Green and Black Poison Dart Frog
*Dendrobates histrionicus --> Harlequin Poison Frog
*Dendrobates pumilio --> Strawberry Poison-dart Frog
*Dendrobates tinctorius --> Dyeing Poison Frog
*Phyllobates bicolor --> Black-legged Dart Frog
*Phyllobates terribilis --> Golden Poison Frog
I got these common names either from the article, IUCN or AMNH.

thread_title: more pictures

message: There are some growing problems with "hearsay" creeping into the article. I have removed a couple of things that were certainly wrong (that there are dart frogs from "several continents" aside from central and south america, for example) and added "citation needed" to some more "facts" that I'm pretty sure are wrong. I also edited the first paragraph to account for all current or proposed taxonomies, and to match with the current taxobox ordering. 
The section on care of dart frogs is, I think, problematic because the proper care of the various species varies too much to be captured well. Some of the behavior and sexing information is definitely wrong for some species, so I added some language to clarify that. For example, D. leucomelas males do not expand a throat sac when singing and thus cannot be identified by such a feature. Not all females of all species of dendrobatids are as aggressively territorial as is presented, nor do all males guard eggs as diligently as is implied.
Let's try to keep this article applicable to the entire family of animals, and leave the really tight specifics of behavior and care to the species-specific pages? --Leperflesh 01:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fixed a bunch of stuff 

message: I'm not very knowledgeable about dendrobatid taxonomy, but the taxobox here is strange. Specifically, it includes proposed subfamilies, proposed genera, and even proposed invalid genera, as if these taxa were in some sort of limbo. That's not really an option. If this is the latest thinking, then these names should be used in the box without the "proposed" wording. If the names are from a fringe source or researcher, it may be appropriate to indicate, perhaps with an asterisk/reference, that they are not yet widely accepted. Tim Ross·talk 15:21, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I would certainly recommend updating the taxoboxes if Grant et al are authorities in the field. If the views of Grant et al are not widely accepted, then some sort of note regarding the situation may be useful, while reverting the taxoboxes back to their earlier state, before the "proposed" language was added. In any case, it would be nice to remove the "proposed" status indicators. Tim Ross (talk) 15:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: After a little further digging, the nomenclature suggested by Grant et al is not quite as widely accepted as I had previously thought, though it's assumed that the majority of it will stick.  I'm not a scientist myself, but rather a hobbyist that wants to ensure that available information is accurate and clear.  So, should the taxobox be changed, with a note that the system is in a state of flux, or should it be reverted to the previous nomenclature with a similar note?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aes123 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Taxobox problem 

message: --1. Article introduces Poison Dart Frogs as poison frogs, but later states that none of the "poison frogs" capable of dart/arrow-death are not of the Dendrobates genus (aka poison frog). I think there's a mix up of "poison[ous] frogs" and "poison [dart] frogs".
::All frogs of Dendrobatidae are toxic. Only three frog species are recorded to have been used by natives for the poisoning of darts. This does not mean that the other frogs are unsuitable for such purpose: only that their use for such purpose is not documented. Not all natives across central and south america hunt with poisoned darts, for example. I am unaware of any scientific assay of relative toxicity across all dart frog species. In general, the term is a misnomer, but it is the general-use term for Dendrobatid frogs, so it stays. --Leperflesh (talk) 23:06, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not, strictly, true: to be accurate we should say "only three are documented as having been used for this purpose".

thread_title:  Propose adding a strawberry poison-dart frog mention 

message: in the second paragraph of the section it was said that "his study found that polymorphic poison dart frogs that are less conspicuous are more toxic in comparison to the brightest and most conspicuous species." this was by Wang and Shaffer (2011), however there is another article that contradicts this and a study was done that says the poison from blander frogs was less potent than that of more colorful frogs. this article was from http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-do-tropical-frogs-get-their-stunning-colors-712275/?all
Another note when it comes to sexual selection it is also said that females prefer males with the shiniest skin, so perhaps this could be another piece to mention. 
Also there can be many different colors among the species that can eventually become consistent within an area. A study was done in the Amazon forest with 2 colonies of frogs only ten kilometers apart, it showed how if a frog does not recognize a certain pattern or color of the frog it will attack thinking that it is prey. Eventually all the frogs will become one color or pattern after time of realizing they are all essentially the same.

message: I reorganized the last sentence of the second paragraph to make it clearer. Before the edit, the sentence structure was a little confusing because information about the plant was intertwined with information about the frog.
 
Word “unacceptable” changed to “dangerous” in the “Toxicity and Medicine” section. Unacceptable is more of a vague word and detracts from the potency of the toxin.
 
Moved the exposition under “Evolution of skin coloration and toxicity” to the “Aposematism” section to improve clarity in organizational structure.
 
Subsection titled “Visual cues” was removed and the information was embedded into the paragraph.
 
“Chemical Defense” section moved to “Toxicity” section to reduce redundancy.
 
Minor grammar changes and edits to make sentences more concise were made throughout the piece. For example, “The diet of the Dendrodates is one that is unique” was changed to the “The diet of the Dendrodates is unique.”

However, these references might be inaccurate, so the article needs an expert on the topic to investigate and correct any errors. Hairy Dude (talk) 00:09, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
