Gaps in terrestrial soundscape research: It's time to focus on tropical wildlife
(2020-03-10)
There has been a body of research examining the sounds produced in landscapes. These sounds are commonly defined as soundscapes, however, the term is often used in different contexts. To understand the various meanings ...
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 ...
Advertisement and release calls of Phyllomedusa ayeaye (Anura: Hylidae) with comments on the social context of emission
(Soc Brasileira Zoologia, Univ Federal Parana, 2015-08-01)
Male calls play different roles in anuran social organization, such as spacing, territoriality and female attraction. However, calls and associated behaviors remain poorly described for many anuran species. Here we describe ...
Notes on vocalizations of Brazilian amphibians IV: advertisement calls of 20 Atlantic Forest frog species
(Peerj Inc, 2019-09-13)
Bioacoustics is a powerful tool used for anuran species diagnoses, given that advertisement calls are signals related to specific recognition and mate attraction. Thus, call descriptions can support species taxonomy. In ...

We describe a new species of Boana endemic to the Araguaia-Tocantins Basin in the center of the Brazilian Cerrado that was previously confused with species of the B. pulchella group. The new species is tentatively included ...
The anuran calling repertoire in the light of social context
(Springer, 2015-06-01)
Frogs are immediately associated to their conspicuous vocalizations emitted during the breeding season. Therefore, many scientists were inspired to study their acoustic communication. Nowadays, many types of calls are ...
