Abstract
AbstractColour/pattern variation is widespread among many anuran species, as polymorphisms or as ontogenetic, irreversible changes, or as dynamic, rapid reversible changes. Notwithstanding its commonness, the phenomenon and its implications to natural history and taxonomic knowledge are still overlooked in neotropical anurans. Herein we report dynamic colour/pattern change in a species belonging to the bromeliad‐dwelling treefrog genus Phyllodytes. It is the first report of this behaviour in this genus and it allows some unexpected striking insights into its taxonomy.
