Article Synopsis
- Humans are changing habitats and affecting climate, which is causing many species to decline and lose their ability to adapt to new environments.
- To help these species survive, scientists often breed or release individuals back into the wild, but they need to study their genetics closely to know which ones will fit best in specific locations.
- This study focuses on the common midwife toad in Europe, using advanced genetic tools to understand how to choose the best toads to help populations thrive without harming their local adaptations.
We report temporal variation and an "outbreak" of frog predation by moustached tamarins, Saguinus mystax, in north-eastern Peruvian Amazonia. Frog predation rates were generally very low, but strongly increased in October 2015. Other high rates, identified by outlier analyses, were also observed in September-November of other years.

We collected data on strata and substrate use during foraging, on prey searching and capturing, and on prey type of two C. cupreus groups and one group each of S.
