Some species display unusual parenting habits, including carrying both eggs and tadpoles on their backs. Although this "backpacking" is not unique among amphibians, male poison dart frogs are exceptional in their care, attending to the clutch, sometimes exclusively, and performing vital transportation ...

However, most poison frog tadpoles are aquatic and thus need to be taken by one of their parents from land to water (Fig. 1). Depending on the species, tadpoles are carried by males or females, singly or in groups, and released in terrestrial or arboreal pools...
four tadpole-carrying males were not the genetic fathers of the larvae they were transporting. The average clutch size of 20 eggs and our observation of an average of 8 tadpoles on the back of transporting individuals indicate that frogs do not carry entire clutches at once, and/or that they...
