Our article was just published in Integrative & Comparative Biology! Here, we ponder how different interaction strategies lead to differences in call-timing mechanism functioning, and propose amendments to several prominent frameworks from the chorusing literature. academic.oup.com/icb/article-...
The Variability and Malleability of Frog Call-Timing Mechanisms are Neglected in Traditional Call-Timing Models
Synopsis. Males of many insect and anuran species send courtship calls to females from within crowded chorusing aggregations. Despite large phylogenetic di

Internship opportunity to work with me (in collaboration with Drs. Matt Fuxjager and Rachel Page) next year to investigate links between physiological performance capacities and call properties in tungara frogs. Please share with those who might be interested!

A recent preprint from us. Tungara frogs use multifaceted cues to social context to guide adaptive flexibility in calling strategies. Cues involve conspecific stimulation patterns experienced between calls, and how these patterns interact with endogenous call rhythms.

Cadences of the Collective: Conspecific Stimulation Patterns Interact with Endogenous Rhythms to Cue Socially Mediated Response Shifts
Many animals form behavioral collectives, and optimal interaction patterns often differ across social contexts. Sensory scenes generated by many interacting conspecifics are complex. Thus, maintaining...
