Nightly calling patterns in a Neotropical gladiator frog
(Springer, 2017-10-01)
In anurans, vocalization is the primary communication form and acoustic parameters are influenced by climatic conditions, but also by social contexts. We investigated calling site use and within-individual variation of ...
Calling activity and vocal repertoire of hypsiboas prasinus (Anura, Hylidae), a treefrog from the Atlantic Forest of Brazil
(Herpetologists League, 2015-06-01)
Vocalizations are important for female attraction and territory delimitation in prolonged breeding anurans. Males of Hypsiboas prasinus display year-round nocturnal calling activity, using herbaceous and bushy vegetation ...
Calling activity and vocal repertoire of hypsiboas prasinus (Anura, Hylidae), a treefrog from the atlantic forest of Brazil
(2015-06-01)

Patterns of daily and seasonal calling activity of a direct-developing frog of the subtropical Andean forests of Argentina
(A B Academic Publ, 2014-09)
Climate often regulates different aspects of the life cycle and activity of amphibians. Climatic seasonality may impose severe restrictions on breeding patterns of direct-developing terraranan frogs. We studied the influence ...
Diurnal? Calling activity patterns reveal nocturnal habits in the aposematic toad, Melanophryniscus rubriventris
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2016-07)
Abstract: In anuran species with short breeding seasons, an extension of diel activity to the night hours could be favoured to maximize mating opportunities but individuals must deal with physiological and behavioural ...
A new species of Pseudopaludicola Miranda-Ribeiro (Leiuperinae: Leptodactylidae: Anura) from the Cerrado of southeastern Brazil with a distinctive advertisement call pattern
(MAGNOLIA PRESSAUCKLAND, 2012)
A new species of Pseudopaludicola is described from the Cerrado of southeastern Brazil. The new taxon is diagnosed from the P. pusilla species group by the absence of either T-shaped terminal phalanges or toe tips expanded, ...
Diverse patterns of temporal selectivity in the evoked vocal responses of a frog from the temperate austral forest, Batrachyla taeniata (Batrachylidae)
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)
Evoked vocal responses of male frogs Batrachyla taeniata to synthetic advertisement calls and variants having different temporal features altered parametrically were studied to identify patterns of evoked vocal responses ...
Habitat heterogeneity and use of physical and acoustic space in anuran communities in Southeastern Brazil
(2008-12-29)
Habitat heterogeneity and use of physical and acoustic space in anuran communities in Southeastern Brazil. We intended to verify if structural and physiognomical characteristics of water bodies influence on the degree of ...
Contrasting Propagation of Natural Calls of Two Anuran Species from the South American Temperate Forest
(Public Library Science, 2015)
The acoustic adaptation hypothesis predicts that sound communication signals have an optimal relationship with animals' native environments. However, species sharing a habitat produce signals stratified in the spectral ...
