Diverse animals use environmental sounds to orient in ecological soundscapes. Yet, we know little about how acoustic information drives behavioral decisions orient. Although the sound generated by frog choruses functions as noise that impairs signal reception listeners aggregation, it can also serve an informative allows other individuals toward and localize active breeding aggregations. Here, investigated cues elicit orientation of a chorus green tree frogs (Hyla cinerea) Cope's gray...
Although our understanding of the behavior frogs during breeding events is substantial, a gap exists in knowledge and physiology these animals nonreproductive periods. We used field sampling Gray Treefrogs, Hyla versicolor, to measure body condition steroid hormone levels dispersed nonbreeding throughout active seasons for this species. Treefrog females act showed greatest elevation all measured steroids, that away from ponds had greater plasma estradiol testosterone season relative season....
Abstract The green frog, Rana clamitans, exhibits a resource defense mating strategy whereby males advertise for mates and defend territories along the shoreline of breeding ponds periods up to several weeks. Because male frogs may be energy-limited during season, I tested predictions that provided with extra food would 1) have longer tenures on territories, 2) show reduced movement between (due greater site specificity), 3) expend more energy in calling territory defense. these by...
There has been a growing interest in characterizing the parasite faunas of species populations as they expand their geographical ranges result climate change. Expanded-range often exhibit lower diversity than historical-range populations, and reduced parasitism may, part, be attributable to expanded-range escaping native range parasites. The present study compares helminth green treefrogs (Hyla cinerea) from 4 historical determine whether these latter have undergone escape. Results this...
This study compares the helminth faunas between Cope's gray treefrogs (Hyla chrysoscelis) and green cinerea), in areas where they have recently overlapped due to range expansion by H. cinerea, determine whether or not 2 species of frogs with a high degree similarity many their life history traits also exhibit similarities composition assemblages. Results this did find significant differences diversity when sympatric allopatric populations same frog were compared. There was, however,...
