Urbanisation can affect mating opportunities and thereby alter inter‐and intra‐sexual
selection pressures on sexual traits. Biotic and abiotic urban conditions can influence an …

Ambotuy Favoring males' specific sexual signals, female preferences play a major role in
frogs' evolutionary process by selecting traits linked to those signals. However, the factors …

Increasing urbanization has led to large-scale land-use changes, exposing persistent
populations to drastically altered environments. Sensory pollutants, including low-frequency …

Animals living in syntopy share acoustic space. Asian horned frogs are well known for their
sympatric distribution, but little is known about their strategies to avoid acoustic niche …

Male frogs emit stereotypical advertisement calls to attract mates and deter conspecific
rivals. The evolution of these calls is thought to be linked to anatomical constraints and the …

Despite acoustic signals playing a fundamental role on animal behavior and reproduction,
our understanding of the mechanisms driving their evolution is still scarce. Due to the high …

 Abstract The emission of calls is one of the most distinctive and important reproductive traits
in anurans. Given the biological significance of vocalizations, this trait is also useful for …

Phenotypic differentiation among animal populations is common, yet few studies have
simultaneously examined the adaptive and neutral mechanisms behind it. Such evolutionary …

Distress vocalizations are emitted by animals experiencing extreme physical distress, such
as when caught by a predator. These signals are emitted by numerous and phylogenetically …

Reproductive habitat selection—deciding where to mate and where to raise offspring—is a
critical component of successful reproduction. Parents selecting sites to signal to or search …
