The increasing expansion of urban areas leads to the emergence of new noisy environments that can affect animal communication.Calls play a crucial role in the mating displays of anurans,and the negative impact of anth...

The mechanisms of hybridization can be elucidated by analyzing genotypes as well as phenotypes that could act as premating barriers,as the reproductive interactions among heterospecifics can alter the evolutionary hist...

The calling activity of anurans is influenced by environmental variables and calls produced by syntopic amphibians,among other variables.Some variables have a strong influence,such as temperature and predation dilutio...

The reproductive cycle in anurans may be either continuous or discontinuous.These differences may be connected to seasonal climate changes and/or to anthropic activity.Forty adult male individuals of the Dendropsophus...
