Noise is one of the main factors that can influence processes sound communication across a wide range animal groups. Although effects ambient noise on communication, including anthropogenic noise, have received increasing attention, few studies examined changes in fine structure acoustic signals produced by vocalizing species constantly noisy environments. Here, we used natural recordings to determine associations between stream and call parameters little torrent frog (Amolops torrentis). We...
Most species are believed to evolve larger body sizes over evolutionary time. Previous studies have suggested that sexual selection, through male-male competition and female choice, favors males. However, there is little evidence of selection against large size. The serrate-legged small treefrogs (Philautus odontotarsus) must carry passive males from leks breeding grounds relatively long distances after amplexus find a suitable place lay eggs. costs male size may therefore decrease mating...
Some snakes emit hissing calls which are imitated by birds to deter potential predators. However, the effect of these snake and bird hisses on anuran risk recognition is not yet explored. Here we hypothesize that may advertise dangers frogs evoke their anti-predator responses. We used little torrent (Amolops torrentis) as subjects conducted sound playbacks test behaviors. found changed calling behaviors during sympatric hiss playbacks, but showed no response white noise allopatric playbacks....
Abstract Background The acoustic adaptation hypothesis (AAH) states that signals should evolve towards an optimal transmission of the intended information from senders to receivers given environmental constraints medium they traverse. To date, most AAH studies have focused on effect stratified vegetation signal propagation. These studies, based AAH, predict experience less attenuation and degradation where habitats are acoustically complex. Here, we explored this by including noise dimension...
Temperature fluctuation affects physiology and behaviour in ectotherms. Previous studies revealed that the phonotactic preference of female frogs was affected by temperature fluctuations; however, corresponding plasticity peripheral auditory sensitivity is unclear. In present study, little torrent (Amolops torrentis) tested brainstem responses (ABRs) both natural warm cold conditions. The threshold latency ABRs evoked tone pips ranging from 1.0–7.0 kHz clicks were compared between these two...
Aims:The Bawangling Area of the National Park Hainan Tropical Rainforest belongs to biodiversity hotspot area China, and its natural environment is ideal for amphibians.However, diversity anuran amphibians in still unknown.Here we investigated anurans region explored relationships between calling environment.Methods: The emerging bio-acoustic methods were applied this study.Five areas with different habitats selected Park.In each area, three recorders deployed consistently collect sound data...
The Hong Kong Whipping Frog (Polypedates megacephalus) is widespread on Hainan Island and yet nothing known about its history. To investigate this, we use sequences of a partial fragment mitochondrial ND1 flanking region from 248 individuals taken 30 localities. Analyses reveal low genetic diversity commonly shared haplotypes. Montane areas exhibit significantly greater than lowland (P 0.01). origin P. megacephalus dates to 1.06 Ma in the Pleistocene. Population expansion events were...
Abstract Noise pollution has been shown to affect wild animals in various ways, but little is known about its consequences at the community level. Investigating animals’ overall vocal responses noise across multiple sympatric species can reveal complex nature of impacts challenging. In this study, we employed social network analysis (SNA) evaluate how anuran communities and populations vary their calling behaviors response aircraft noise. SNA revealed that conspecific individuals increase...
Abstract Diamondback terrapins ( Malaclemys terrapin centrata ) exhibit strong environmental adaptability and live in both freshwater saltwater. However, the genetic basis of this has not been focus research. In study, we successfully constructed a ∼2.21‐Gb chromosome‐level genome assembly for M. t. using high‐coverage high‐depth genomic sequencing data generated on multiple platforms. The contains 25 chromosomes scaffold N50 ∼143.75 Mb, demonstrating high continuity accuracy. total, 53.82%...
Many species produce alarm calls in response to predators, and the anti-predator signals are often used by other species. Eavesdropping on heterospecific has been widely found bird mammal Other taxa, such as reptiles amphibians, however, receive limited attention at present. Here, we selected three types of Japanese Tits (
Many animal species use acoustic signals for social communication including attracting mates, defending resources and assessing risks. Nevertheless, a variety of ambient noise sources often interfere with sound efficient decision making. In the present study we identified an exception to this generalization in streamside species, little torrent frog (Amolops torrentis) which communicates environment stream is always present. To show that can act as biological signal reflects character...
Abstract Many animals rely on complex sexual signals that target multiple senses to attract mates and repel rivals. These multimodal mating displays can however also unintended receivers, which be an important driver of signal complexity. Despite being taxonomically widespread, we often lack insight into how evolve from unimodal in particular what roles eavesdroppers play. Here assess whether the physical movements parasite defense behavior increase complexity attractiveness acoustic little...
