Evolution of Biparental Care in Dendrobates
[edit]My suggestions would be to include evolutionary background to the phenomenon, such as the statement that the biparental care system was an adaptation of frogs to breed on land due to the risk of predation in ponds. While the female gathers energy to feed the eggs, the male broods over the eggs, which increases their survival rate and is favored by natural selection. Finally, show how the breeding on land returns to water by stating that the female can deliver the tadpoles to the pond once the eggs are hatched. Huber.339 (talk) 15:49, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
