not enough time: short-term female presence after oviposition does not improve egg survival in the Emerald glass frog

In species exhibiting egg attendance, parents remain with their eggs, protecting them against harsh abiotic conditions, such as dehydration or drowning, and biotic conditions, such as predation, parasitism, and diseases. This form of post-oviposition parental care is widely observed in animals, including amphibians. Long-term egg attendance (spanning several days) is common among glass frogs, and removal experiments have demonstrated the critical role of the parent, whether male or female, in increasing egg survival. However, in a few glass frog species, females stay close to their eggs for less than three hours after oviposition. Previous studies have found that maternal presence reduces dehydration and predation despite the short duration of this attendance behavior. In the glass frog Espadarana prosoblepon, females remain close to their eggs for less than 1.5 hours after oviposition. Given that the embryonic development period in this species spans an average of 25 days, our main que..., , , # Data from: not enough time: short-term female presence after oviposition does not improve egg survival in the Emerald glass frog

### Description of the data

Missing values are designated with \"NA\", for instance in cases where the data could not be obtained from behavioral observations, or in the case of the **removal groups** in the female removal experiments, there is no data associated with the female duration with the clutch.
