Temporal updating during phonotaxis in male túngara frogs (Physalaemus pustulosus)
In acoustically advertising anurans the male courtship call elicits species-typical responses from conspecifics – usually phonotactic approach and mate choice in gravid females and an evoked vocal response in adult males. Males in several species, however, are also known to perform phonotaxis, sometimes with the same acoustic preferences as females. Female túngara frogs are known to update thei...
متن کاملFemale túngara frogs vary in commitment to mate choice
Mate choice studies most often examine female preferences based on population responses, thus potentially overlooking individual differences in behavior. Moreover, such studies typically use invariant stimulus conditions to infer preferences. By using population responses and static stimulus presentations, it is difficult to thoroughly understand the complexity of the mate choice process, inclu...

*Correspondence: Corinna E. Dreher, Institute of Zoology, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation, Bünteweg 17, Hannover 30559, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Sexual signals indicate species identity and mate quality, and their importance for mate attraction is largely recognized. Recently, research in animal communication has started to integrate multiple signal modalit...

متن کاملThe Development and Execution of Mate Choice in Túngara Frogs
The question of when and how species-typical behavior arises during development has important implications for the evolution of communication systems. In anurans, acoustic communication is a central component of sexual behavior and therefore has been studied in mature adults. This study examined the emergence of a critical component of sex, response to sexual signals—phonotaxis—in male and fema...
