Autumn daylength triggered winter preparation despite frogs being kept at warm temperatures, suggesting an ecological trap in the face of global warming. As winters start later, frogs responding to daylength will begin winter preparations earlier than needed, possibly incurring a growth cost.

They are very interesting, so cool you have them in the backyard! love their calls too, have seen them calling, but haven’t been able to get photos or video. But only rarely in their range.
