Do I Sound Sick? Condition‐Dependent Advertisement Signals in Naturally Infected Frogs
To understand whether infection has negative, sublethal effects on frog courtship behaviors, we conducted an observational field study of the effects of infection on spring peepers (Pseudacris crucifer). We found that increasing infection loads were associated with longer call durations in males in good condition, but were associated with shorter call ...
