Investigating behaviour for conservation goals: Conspecific call playback can be used to alter amphibian distributions within ponds
Conspecific attraction can prevent occupancy of restored or created habitats by limiting
dispersal to unoccupied areas. This may cause problems for threatened taxa where habitat …
