Anurans and birds rely on sound for a number of social behaviors. Species that use
roadside habitats are exposed to traffic noise that can mask important social signals and …

Calling behaviour is strongly temperature‐dependent and critical for sexual selection and
reproduction in a variety of ectothermic taxa, including anuran amphibians, which are the …
