Stream Noise, Hybridization, and Uncoupled Evolution of Call Traits in Two Lineages of Poison Frogs: Oophaga histrionica and Oophaga lehmanni
TL;DR: The results support a previously unconsidered role of noise on streams as a selective force promoting an increase in call frequency and pleiotropic effects in body size and do not support the presumed role of hybridization in promoting phenotypic diversity.
Anfibios y reptiles en el departamento del Valle del Cauca, Colombia
TL;DR: A listado actualizado of the herpetofauna del departamento del Valle del Cauca, Colombia is presented in this article, with a focus on snakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does traffic noise alter calling time in frogs and toads? A case study of anurans in Eastern Ontario, Canada
Fernando Vargas-Salinas,Fernando Vargas-Salinas,Glenn M. Cunnington,Adolfo Amézquita,Lenore Fahrig +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied four anuran species breeding in wetlands, ponds, and ditches near a highway in eastern Ontario, Canada, to test whether they called more often when traffic noise intensity was lower, and stopped calling when the noise intensity increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abiotic noise, call frequency and stream-breeding anuran assemblages
TL;DR: The data suggest that habitat filtering rather than acoustic adaptation explains the high call frequency of stream breeders, and do not provide support for the acoustic adaptation hypothesis at a wider phylogenetic scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traffic noise correlates with calling time but not spatial distribution in the threatened poison frog Andinobates bombetes
TL;DR: To avoid calling during episodes with higher noise level allowed frogs to reduce the detrimental masking effects of anthropogenic noise; if so, it would explain why frog distribution is poorly correlated with distance to the noisy road.
