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

Habitat characterisation is a pivotal step of any animal ecology study. The choice of
variables used to describe habitats is crucial and need to be relevant to the ecology and …

Acoustic signals are the most important communication mechanism for many anuran
species. However, acoustic parameters can be influenced by several factors (eg, body size …

Intraspecific communication in frogs plays an important role in the recognition of
conspecifics in general and of potential rivals or mates in particular and therefore with …

Climate and land-use change are major drivers of biodiversity loss, but their combined
effects are still unclear. Reforestation may compensate or reduce climate change impacts on …

Understanding physiological and environmental determinants of strategies of reproductive
allocation is a pivotal aim in biology. Because of their high metabolic cost, properties of …

Acoustically active animals may show long-and short-term adaptations in acoustic traits for
co** with ambient noise. Given the key role of calls in anurans' life history, long-and short …

Background Anuran vocalizations, such as advertisement and release calls, are informative
for taxonomy because species recognition can be based on those signals. Thus, a proper …

Background Animal communication consists of signal production and perception, which are
crucial for social interactions. The main form used by anurans is auditory communication, in …

This study describes the vocal repertoire of the Guyanan golden rocket frog,
Anomaloglossus beebei, a bromeliad specialist with biparental care. Using multivariate …
