Phenotypic plasticity raises questions for taxonomically important traits: A remarkable new Andean rainfrog (Pristimantis) with the ability to change skin texture
We describe a new frog, Pristimantis mutabilis sp. nov., from the Andes of Ecuador. Individuals of the new species are remarkable for their ability to change skin texture from tuberculate to almost smooth in a few minutes, being the first documented amphibian species to show such dramatic phenotypic...
