Green Treefrogs

Wildlife surveys have a critical role in conservation efforts and the collection of life history data. For anuran amphibians these surveys often focus on calling males. In order to further our understanding of anuran ecology, we used automated recording systems to monitor the calling activities of the anuran communities at two beaver-formed lakes and one cattle pond in southeastern Oklahoma. We documented 14 anuran species between 5 February and 28 April 2012. Temperature had a significant effect on the calling patterns of Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toads (Gastrophryne carolinensis), Green Treefrogs (Hyla cinerea), Gray Treefrogs (Hyla versicolor), Southern Crawfish Frogs (Lithobates areolatus areolatus), and Cajun Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris fouquettei). Temperature did not have a significant effect on the calling patterns of Dwarf American Toads (Anaxyrus americanus charlesmithi), American Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus), or Green Frogs (Lithobates clamitans). There was not a significant relationship between rainfall and calling for L. a. areolatus. The presence of several of these species, including L. a. areolatus and Hurter’s Spadefoots (Scaphiopus hurterii) was unusual because these anurans typically breed in ephemeral, fishless pools, but the beaver lakes are permanent and sustain populations of carnivorous fishes.

1. Two hundred and eighty-eight female green treefrogs responded in two-choice experiments using synthetic calls. The spectral properties of the sounds were similar; the fine-temporal properties were systematically varied. 2. Females preferred sounds in which the waveform periodicity was about 300/s, a rate typical of natural mating calls. They discriminated strongly against calls with periodicities of 100/s, 60/s and 50/s. Aperiodic calls and calls with periodicities of 225/s and 900/s were intermediate in attractiveness. 3. The results of four experiments indicated that periodicity preferences depended on corresponding changes in the amplitude-time envelopes of the signals. 4. Neurophysiological correlations and the implications of the behavioural results are discussed. 5. The biological significance in species recognition and in the differentiation of the mating call from other signals in the repertoire of the green treefrog is discussed.
