Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...
