How long do females really listen? Assessment time for female mate choice in the grey treefrog, Hyla versicolor

Article Abstract:

The calls from four pairs of 360-degree speakers suspended within screen cages at four locations at the edge of the pond are broadcasted in order to estimate 'assessment time' of females in nature. Laboratory-based choice tests indicated that females preferred call sources with variable numbers of pulses to those with constant numbers of pulses when the former had more total pulses per time window.
