Reproductive niche differentiation in syntopic tropical tree frogs (Agalychnis)

Small differences in syntopic Agalychnis callidryas and A. spurrelli oviposition sites and embryo predation via snakes and invertebrates provide context for a previously unexplainable difference in embryonic behavioral risk responses. Correlations in reproductive and ecological traits suggest directional selection in the syntopic populations of these species. [Correction added on 10 November 2022: The abstract was updated to clarify that there was only one difference. The words character displacement were replaced by directional selection.]
