Phenotypic and genetic divergence are shaped by the homogenizing effects of gene flow and the differentiating processes of genetic drift and local adaptation. Herein, we examined the mechanisms Epibatidine is an alkaloid that was first isolated from the skin of the Ecuadoran frog Epipedobates tricolor by Daly et al. [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 102:803-836 (1980)] and was found to have very high affinity for neuronal nicotinic receptors, where it acts as a potent agonist. Here we have measured and characterized the binding of (+/-)(-)[3H]epibatidine to nicotinic receptors in rat brain. Anthony's Poison Arrow Frog. Scientific Name: Epipedobates anthonyi.

Epipedobates machalilla has a snout-vent length of 14.4 to 16 millimetres (0.57 to 0.63 in) for males and 15.0 to 17.6 millimetres (0.59 to 0.69 in) for females. Their heads are longer than they are wide, and the tympanum is small. The forelimbs have a moderate length and the fingers are unwebbed. Epipedobates. Myers, 1987. Type species.
