What dietary patterns emerge among Panamanian litter anurans?The study finds a continuum of dietary specialization among species, with strong ant and mite specialists (D = 1) prevalent, and non-ant specialists (D = -1) less common. More ant specialists than generalists were observed across the two study locations in Panama.How do morphological traits relate to foraging behaviors in anurans?Body size and mouth width significantly correlate with prey size selection among guilds, with ant specialists consuming the smallest prey available. The analysis revealed F values of 31.1 (p << 0.001), supporting this relationship.What methods were used to assess the diets of litter anurans?Frogs were collected and analyzed based on stomach contents preserved in formalin and prey size categories sorted using Berlese funnel extraction. Electivity indices were calculated using Jacobs' method, comparing stomach contents to environmental prey availability.
