Noise constrains the evolution of call frequency contours in flowing water frogs: a comparative analysis in two clades

Noise constrains the evolution of call frequency contours in flowing water frogs: a comparative analysis in two clades

Abstract Background The acoustic adaptation hypothesis (AAH) states that signals should evolve towards an optimal transmission of the intended information from senders to intended receivers given the environmental constraints of the medium that they traverse. To date, most AAH studies have focused o...
