Species that use communication sounds to coordinate social and reproductive behavior
must be able to distinguish vocalizations from nonvocal sounds as well as to identify …

The effective production of acoustic signals is critically important for intraspecific
communication in vocal animals; however, it is also highly time-consuming, energetically …

Background Animal vocal signals encode very important information for communication
during which the importance of temporal and spectral characteristics of vocalizations is …

Male-male vocal competition in anuran species is critical for mating success; however, it is
also energetically demanding and highly time-consuming. Thus, we hypothesized that …

Social network analysis has been widely used to investigate the dynamics of social
interactions and the evolution of social complexity across a range of taxa. Anuran species …

The characteristics of acoustic signals co-evolve with preferences of the auditory sensory
system. However, how the brain perceives call variations and whether it can reveal …

Brain systems engage in what are generally considered to be among the most complex
forms of information processing. In the present study, we investigated the functional …
