Frogs are immediately associated to their conspicuous vocalizations emitted during the
breeding season. Therefore, many scientists were inspired to study their acoustic …

Language, humans' most distinctive trait, still remains a 'mystery'for evolutionary theory. It is
underpinned by a universal infrastructure—cooperative turn-taking—which has been …

Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral

Any signal must get from a sender to a receiver if information is to be transmitted. In the case
of bird song, the acoustic properties of the habitat may hinder this being achieved. However …

This chapter describes the effects of noise on animals in terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
Potential adverse effects cover a range of behavioral changes and physiological responses …

Where they co-occur, male anurans of different species may signal from diverse locations
and use vocalizations that differ spectrally. However, the relevance of such differences to the …

Choruses of acoustically signaling frogs and toads are among the most impressive acoustic
spectacles known from the natural world. They are loud, raucous social environments that …

Wound healing-promoting peptides exhibit excellent therapeutic potential in regenerative
medicine. However, amphibian-derived wound healing-promoting peptides and their …

Animals settle disputes through contests (Archer, 1988, Hardy and Briffa, 2013, Huntingford
