Listening to a deafening chorus of Cope's gray treefrogs on a spring evening, scientists have wondered: Dofemale frogsuse a similar strategy to pick important messages about potential mates out of the cacophony? The chorus consists of the calls of countless individual male frogs, each of which ...
We used laser vibrometry to study the vibrational frequency response of the eardrum of female gray tree frogs for different positions of the sound source in three-dimensional space. Furthermore, we studied the accuracy of 3-D phonotaxis in the same species for sounds with different frequency ...
Sound Pattern Recognition in Some North American Treefrogs (Anura: Hylidae): Implications for Mate Choice SYNOPSIS. Playback experiments using synthetic sounds indicate that gravid females of the gray treefrogs ( Hyla versicolor and H. chrysoscelis ) and the green treefrog ( H. cinerea ) selective...
It is surprisingly easy to identify a tree frog because of their large toe pads. These sticky toe pads and their flexible toe tips allow them to grasp and climb, even on smooth surfaces. Tree frogs have very rough skin and warts like a toad, although not

Tree frogs have different colors and markings on their skins. Their eyes are different, too. Some have green eyes, some gray. Some frogs' eyes are deep red, and some are bright red. The sounds they make in spring and summer are different, too. One frog makes a ...

Using two response metrics (females' normalized response times and their phonotaxis trajectories) we found that, unlike the field experiments, females oriented and were attracted to chorus sounds from 1 to 32 m only, but not from >32 m, or to band-limited noise. Possible reasons for the ...
