Robert G. Korbeck, Jr., and Scott P. McRobert. Home Area Recognition via Olfactory Cues in the Tropical Poison Frog Dendrobates auratus. Russian Journal of Herpetology. 2005, Vol.12, No.3.
The ability of the poison frog Dendrobates auratus to recognize and associate, via olfactory cues, its home area, a conspecific’s home area, and the sex of the conspecific was examined in laboratory studies. The results showed that test individuals do not display recognition or preference for their home area, or for other conspecific home areas, but did show preference for the home area of conspecifics of the opposite sex. Comparison of these results to results from another closely related species, and other species capable of gender recognition is presented.

Abstract.
The Biodiversity Laboratories at Saint Joseph's University house more than 100 exotic and endangered animal species-including insects, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. Research in the laboratories is devoted, primarily, to understanding the genetic and ecological bases of animal behavior. In addition, a common theme of the work is the development of techniques for the successful care of exotic animals within a laboratory setting. Such techniques may be critical to studies aimed at understanding the life histories of endangered species and saving them from extinction. Current projects to study the biology of tropical poison frogs have methodologies to improve captive care, maintenance, and breeding. In this article, I present these methodologies and their impact on the welfare of captive poison frogs.
