Competitive pressures affect sexual signal complexity in Kurixalus odontotarsus: insights into the evolution of compound calls
Male-male vocal competition in anuran species is critical for mating success; however, it is also energetically demanding and highly time-consuming. Thus, we hypothesized that males may change signal elaboration in response to competition in real time. Male serrate-legged small treefrogs (Kurixalus...
