Environmental Constraints And Call Evolution In Torrent-dwelling Frogs
(Society for the Study of Evolution, 2016)
Phylogenetic and adaptive components of the anuran advertisement call correlate with temporal species co-occurrence
(Oxford Univ Press, 2018-10-01)
Vocalization is one of the major means of communication in animal groups and is crucial in anuran mate recognition. Animal calls consist of spectral and temporal parameters, whose evolution can be influenced by environmental ...
Searching for the audience of the weeping lizard's distress call
(2013)
The evolution and functions of avian and mammalian antipredator calls are well understood, which contrasts with a lack of progress in reptiles. Here, we present the first investigation of the functions of a distress call ...
Selectivity of evoked vocal responses in the time domain by frogs of the genus Batrachyla
(Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, 1997)
The leptodactylid frogs Batrachyla taeniata, B. antartandica and B. leptopus in southern Chile produce advertisement calls composed of short pulses, repeated in species-specific patterns. Batrachyla leptopus has a call ...
Contact calling in context: intra- and intergroup variation in vocalization rates depend on a call’s function
(2020)
To maintain group cohesion while coordinating group movements, individuals might use signals to advertise the location of a route, their intention to initiate movements, or their position at a given time. In highly mobile ...
Influence of burrow acoustics on sound reception by frogs Eupsophus (Leptodactylidae)
(Academic Press, 1996)
The effect of burrow acoustics on the reception of sounds by a leptodactylid frog, Eupsophus emiliopugini, from Southern Chile was investigated. Burrows occupied by E. emiliopugini males amplified vocalizations produced ...
