On the courtship, breeding behaviour and vocalisation of Rhinella ornata (Spix, 1824) (Anura, Bufonidae): a well-marked escalated behaviour in a lek-like system
(2020-06-01)
Courtship and breeding behaviour of anurans is species-specific and defined by vocalisation, although breeding activities are still understudied for many species. Here, we describe the courtship behaviour and unpublished ...
The importance of group vocal behaviour in roost finding
(2018)
Individuals benefit from socially acquired information to avoid predation risks and enhance foraging efficiency. Spix's disc-winged bats, Thyroptera tricolor, form very stable social groups despite their need to find a new ...

Burrowing owls eavesdrop on southern lapwing's alarm calls to enhance their antipredatory behaviour
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12)
Eavesdropping is a widespread behaviour among animals, providing the receiver with valuable information to assess the habitat, resources or threats. This kind of behaviour has been reported for the burrowing owl (Athene ...
Ontogeny of an interactive call-and-response system in Spix's disc-winged bats
(2020)
We investigated the ontogenetic changes of two call types, the inquiry call and the response call, which comprise an interactive communication system in Spix's disc-winged bats, Thyroptera tricolor. We documented structural ...
Diverse Types of Advertisement Calls in the Frogs Eupsophus Calcaratus and E. Roseus (Leptodactylidae): a Quantitative Comparison
(British Herpetological Society, 2005-10)
The variability of the advertisement calls of males from two Chilean populations of the
leptodactylid frogs, Eupsophus calcaratus and E. roseus was studied and their calling behaviour
further defined. Characteristic audio ...
Acoustic variability among male gladiator frogs, Boana goiana (Lutz, 1968) (Anura: Hylidae): an 18-year analysis across several reproductive seasons
(Brill, 2021-01-01)
Male anurans emit different call types in specific social contexts. Such calls represent a communication pathway for species recognition, mate choice, and male-male competition mediation. The acoustic parameters of these ...
Breeding and parental behaviour in the glass frog Centrolene savagei (Anura: Centrolenidae)
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014)
We examine factors that influence male mating success in the glass frog Centrolene savagei; in addition, we describe courtship behaviour, oviposition and early parental behaviour. Fieldwork was conducted in the Colombian ...
Intraspecific call variation in a Neotropical gladiator frog with a complex advertisement call
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2018-01-01)
Vocalisation is one of the most conspicuous behavioural traits in different animals, but its emission can be variable within species, depending on environmental, morphological, and/or social factors. Understanding how ...
Escalated aggressive behaviour and facultative parental care in the nest building gladiator frog, Hyla faber
(1998-02-01)
Agonistic encounters and facultative parental care in Hyla faber were observed in two localities in southeastern Brazil. Maximum male density was 0.9 and 3.3 males/m2 in Campinas and Ribeirão Branco, respectively. Aggression ...
