Thermal and water balance are coupled in anurans, and species with particularly permeable
skin avoid overheating more effectively than minimizing variance of body temperature. In …

A well-defined macroecological pattern is the decline in biodiversity with altitude. However,
this decline is taxa-specific. For example, amphibians are more diverse than squamates at …

Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral
ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

The known diversity of dart-poison frog species has grown from 70 in the 1960s to 247 at
present, with no sign that the discovery of new species will wane in the foreseeable future …

Long‐term monitoring of frog populations is needed to understand the effects of global
change. To better understand the relationships between climate variation and calling …

Calling behaviour is strongly temperature‐dependent and critical for sexual selection and
reproduction in a variety of ectothermic taxa, including anuran amphibians, which are the …

Many animals use conspicuous display to attract mates, and there should be selection for
displays to occur at times and places that maximise the probability of mating, while …

Global amphibian declines have resulted in a vital need for monitoring programmes that
follow population trends. Monitoring using advertisement calls is ideal as choruses are …

Aspectos comportamentales de la biología reproductiva de la rana andina Colostethus
palmatus fueron estudiados en campo y laboratorio. Estas ranas vivían en el suelo y …

Calling activity of frogs is influenced by local environmental factors such as relative humidity
(eg, Cree, 1989), temperature (eg, Licht, 1969; Pough et al., 1983; Navas, 1996) …
