Animals often need to signal to attract mates and behavioural signalling may impose
substantial energetic and fitness costs to signallers. Consequently, individuals often …

Despite the importance assigned to inter-patch movements in fragmented systems, the
structure of landscape between suitable habitat patches, the matrix, is often considered as to …

In all species of anuran amphibians studied to date, male mating success is positively
correlated with male chorus tenure (the number of nights that a male is present in breeding …

Males often compete for mates using alternative tactics whose relative success could be
simultaneously influenced by four factors: subsequent behaviour, physiological state, the …

Many environmental stressors naturally covary, and the frequency and duration of stressors
such as heat waves and droughts are increasing globally with climate change. Multiple …

We designed a dynamic optimization model to examine anuran-breeding phenologies. We
evaluated the fitness consequences for males adopting one of four alternative strategies …

Body size–age relationships may have important implications for the evolution and
maintenance of alternative mating tactics, but these relationships remain largely unexplored …

Adequate monitoring of amphibian populations will be increasingly important if global
declines are to be understood and, where possible, reversed. The natterjack toad, Bufo …
