Analysis of morphological attributes as a driver of trade in poison dart frogs

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract The unsustainable use of wildlife is a threat to biodiversity on a global scale, and the insatiable demand is driven by the attributes of the species, their parts, and derivatives. However, not all species are equally valued; certain attributes command a higher price. One example is the exotic pet trade in amphibians and reptiles.
