Breeding Seasons

The advertisement calls of male anurans (frogs and toads) are loud and conspicuous signals, and the sound generated by breeding aggregations of males propagates over long distances. As a by-product of communication within an aggregation, the sounds of a frog chorus constitute a form of inadvertent social information that provides potential long-distance cues about the location and timing of breeding. We investigated whether female American toads ( Bufo americanus Holbrook, 1836) and Cope’s gray treefrogs ( Hyla chrysoscelis Cope, 1880) use the sounds of a chorus to locate breeding aggregations in the absence of other sensory cues. Females of both species approached speakers broadcasting recordings of a chorus made from distances of 0, 20, and 40 m, but not from distances of 80 and 160 m. Female toads also exhibited phonotaxis to a completely artificial chorus sound, but female gray treefrogs did not. We found little evidence to suggest that female American toads and Cope’s gray treefrogs differed substantially in their responses to natural chorus sounds despite potential differences in the predictability and duration of breeding seasons in these two species. Our results suggest that the inadvertent social information of a chorus could be used over short distances to locate breeding aggregations.

We studied mating behavior and male mating success in a population of gray treefrogs (Hyla chrysoscelis) during 1987 and 1988 in western Tennessee. During 1988, individual males called from 1 to 7 nights ([Formula: see text]) and mated 0–4 times ([Formula: see text]). The number of nights that males called or achieved amplexus was not related to body size, but males that called on more nights had a relatively greater chance of mating. There was no significant difference in body size between mated and unmated males on any of the nights tested. Males that mated or called on a previous night were not more likely to achieve amplexus than males that had not mated previously or those that were new to the population. We have no strong evidence to suggest that assortative mating was characteristic of our population or that male–male aggression directly influences female choice.
