This enables the tiny frogs to find each other in the giant forest. Females lay dozens of eggs on leaves, few of which will survive. After the eggs hatch, the males carry the tadpoles to water where they are left to develop. This makes frogs type three survivorship organisms.]]> 2016-05-05 17:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/109489271 Biome bidley_saladin https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/109491243 Poison dart frog found in tropical jungles in Central and South America. ]]> 2016-05-05 18:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/109491243 Predators landjbs https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/109491288 -Only predator is a single type of snake (Leimadophis epinephelus) which has developed a resistance to the poison ]]> 2016-05-05 18:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/109491288 landjbs https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110081229 2016-05-10 12:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110081229 Diet bidley_saladin https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110082720 Poison dart frogs feed mostly on spiders and small insects such as ants and termites, which they find on the forest floor using their excellent vision. They capture their prey by using their long sticky tongues. It is believed that the toxins in the frogs bodies are related to the amount and different types of insects they eat. ]]> 2016-05-10 12:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110082720 landjbs https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110083396 2016-05-10 12:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110083396 Biome Details landjbs https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110084445 These jungles have an average temperature of around 80 Fahrenheit and an annual rainfall that often exceeds 100 inches.

Poison dart frogs have sticky pads on their feet, which allows them to climb the tall jungle trees. They are brightly colored to warn predators that they are poisonous and shouldn't be eaten. In the presence of predators or sensing danger, the poison dart frog will become very hot and toxic slime will appear on its surface. The poison in the frogs can paralyze and even kill predators. They usually grow to only be 1 to 2 inches long. ]]> 2016-05-10 13:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110085985 landjbs https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110087245 2016-05-10 13:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110087245 Density Indepentdent Factors landjbs https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110089497 Due to loss of habitat, pollution, and the illegal smuggling trade which sells them as pets, poison dart frogs are quickly becoming endangered.

They do not live in groups and they do not heavily care for their young, each organism is usually by itself. This is why many of their offspring die early. ]]> 2016-05-12 03:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110467157 Density Dependent Factors landjbs https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110467500 Due to the scarcity of poison dart frogs in the wild (they're considered endangered), there are not many density dependent factors which effect their population growth.

Survivorship is the chance that an organism will survive to a certain age. Poison dart frogs usually live to 5-6 years. Poison dart frogs rely heavily on their environment for shelter and food. Deforestation of the posion dart frogs have caused a decrease in their population numbers. Posion dart frogs display a Type 3 survivorship curve meaning that there produce a lot of offspring but few survive. Frogs combat this by producing dozens of eggs at a time.

Plants are autotrophs and use the sunlight to create their own food. The primary consumers of plants in the rainforests are herbivores like deer, birds, monkeys, etc. The animals only eat plants so they rely heavily on plants in order to gain nutrients. The secondary consumers in the rainforest are small carnivores like  insect-eating birds, spiders and frogs. Tertiary consumers in the rainforest are meaning, they eat smaller animals like frogs and spiders. Examples of tertiary consumers are snakes. Quaternary onsumers are the top predators in the rain forest. These are animals like tigers, pythons, and crocodiles. ]]> 2016-05-12 13:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110550371 bidley_saladin https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110558644 2016-05-12 14:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110558644 Fun Facts bidley_saladin https://padlet.com/landjbs/aguotmsggaq4/wish/110559968 Native Americans used to dip their arrows in the toxins on the surface of the posion dart frogs in order to poison enemies.
