AbstractAim: Aposematic animals, i.e. those that are defended and warn potential predators through signals, are suggested to have resource-gathering advantages against non-aposematic ones. We here explore this in a biogeographic frame expecting that aposematic species are better dis-persers, which translates into larger geographic range size. Location: South America. Taxon: Poison frogs (Amphibia; Aromobatidae and Dendrobatidae).
