ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

Underwater sound is directional and can convey important information about the
surrounding environment or the animal emitting the sound. Therefore, sound is a major …

Studies of vocal behavior in anurans provide significant insights about the mechanisms and

Calling behaviour and the characteristics of the males' call are important for mate attraction,
female mate choice and male mating success in anurans. In this study I investigated the …

Female preference functions for different sexual traits can differ significantly, from
'unimodal'to 'open ended'. Through the study of acoustic communication in anurans, several …

Vertebrates represent one of the best-studied groups in terms of the role that mating

In this paper, we compare the advertisement calls of 207 neotropical strawberry poison frogs
(Dendrobates pumilio) collected in 21 localities along a transect from northern Costa Rica to …

Frogs and toads (Order Anura) are among the most vocal of vertebrates. Yet in most species
only the male produces long-range signals. Such advertisement calls are produced …

In this study, we analysed the patterns of variation of the European treefrog's advertisement
call at four levels of organization: within individuals, within populations, among populations …
