In responses to broadcasts of conspecific advertisement calls, male green frogs (Rana clamitans) lower the dominant frequency their calls. Because is negatively correlated with body size in frogs, alteration provides a means potentially exaggerating during territorial contests. field playback experiments, we broadcast synthetic stimuli representing small, medium, or large intruders residents. We tested hypotheses that males use provide honest signals size-independent fighting ability,...

We examined the suitability of an invasive Asian earthworm, Amynthas agrestis (Asian Crazy Worm or Alabama Jumper), as a prey item for variety native and naturalized North American predators. conducted no-choice feeding trials with three edaphic predators—the nonindigenous Bipalium adventitium (Wandering Broadhead Planarian), Scolopocryptops sexspinosus (Eastern Red Centipede), Desmognathus monticola (Seal Salamander)—and two aquatic predators, Nephelopsis obscura (Ribbon Leech) Oronectes...
We studied the courtship behavior of two species chorus frogs, Pseudacris illinoensis and P. triseriata, in western Illinois. report observations describe calls for each species. These were given response to both male female conspecifics entering calling spaces resident males. Courtship an intruder never followed by aggressive behaviors from or intruder, playbacks conspecific advertisement calls. Thus, these do not appear be used context. are longer duration than triseriata consist multiple...
