Animal personality and behavioral syndromes can have profound effects on individual
fitness. Consequently, there is growing recognition that knowledge of these phenomena …

The existence of a synthetic program of research on what was then termed the “nocturnal
problem” and that we might now call “nighttime ecology” was declared more than 70 years …

This paper reports theoretical and experimental studies on spatio-temporal dynamics in the
choruses of male Japanese tree frogs. First, we theoretically model their calling times and …

Where they co-occur, male anurans of different species may signal from diverse locations
and use vocalizations that differ spectrally. However, the relevance of such differences to the …

Mating signals have evolved to attract target receivers, even to the point of exploiting
receivers through perceptual manipulation. Signals, however, can also expose signalers to …

In many species of chorusing frogs, callers can rapidly adjust their call timing with reference
to neighboring callers so as to maintain call rate while minimizing acoustic interference. The …

The scientific study of frogs and toads as important systems in behavioural ecology traces its
roots to an influential review published in this journal 36 years ago (Wells 1977a,'The social …

In many animals, males aggregate to produce mating signals that attract conspecific
females. These leks, however, also attract eavesdropping predators and parasites lured by …

A limitation in bioacoustic studies has been the inability to differentiate individual sonic
contributions from group‐level dynamics. We present a novel application of acoustic camera …

This article presents common methods for sound source localization and separation, and
their applications to robots. Sound source localization is an estimate of the location or …
