The Dendrobatoidea are a superfamily of frogs.Grant, T., Frost, D. R., Caldwell, J. P., Gagliardo, R., Haddad, C. F. B., Kok, P. J. R., Means, D. B., Noonan, B. P., Schargel, W. E., and Wheeler, W.

Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 299, 1–262 This group is found in the Neotropics and has the largest diversity of alkaloids among all amphibians. These alkaloids show up in the skin by one of three ways: de novo biosynthesis, direct sequestration, or metabolic transformation.Gonzalez, M., & Carazzone, C. (2023).
