Background noise from a natural chorus alters female discrimination of male calls in a Neotropical frog
Many animals communicate in environments with high levels of background noise. Although it is a fundamental prediction of signal detection theory that noise should reduce both detection and discrimination of signals, little is known about these effects in animal communication. Female treefrogs, Hyla ebraccata, in Costa Rica choose mates in large noisy multispecies choruses. We tested gravid fem...
متن کاملKin-bias, breeding site selection and female fitness in a cannibalistic Neotropical frog.
Resource availability influences sexual selection within populations and determines whether behaviours such as territoriality or resource sharing are adaptive. In Thoropa taophora, a frog endemic to the Atlantic Coastal Rainforest of Brazil, males compete for and defend limited breeding sites while females often share breeding sites with other females; however, sharing breeding sites may involv...
متن کاملFemale Preferences Are Not Altered by Early Acoustic Experience in the Neotropical Frog Physalaemus pustulosus
—Female mate choice preferences may be the result of innate factors, experience, or an interaction between the two mechanisms. Understanding the relative contribution and possible interaction between these mechanisms is important for identifying sources of variation in behaviors under sexual selection. In this study, we evaluate the contribution of early experience on the development of mate ch...
متن کاملMisty Role of Amygdala in Female Reproductive Behavior
The primary reproductive behavior of female quadrupeds is known as lordosis which is the bending of vertebral column during intercourse. This behavior depends on the actions of estrogens followed by progestin in cells within defined neuronal groups in the hypothalamus and midbrain. The main neural circuit for lordosis behavior is well established. Estrogen-dependent transcription in ventromedia...
