A COMPARISON OF ANURAN CALLING PATTERNS AT TWO CAROLINA BAYS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

摘要

Most male anurans use advertisement calls to attract females during their breeding season. While general breeding seasons are known for many spe- cies, temporal details of calling activity within the breeding seasona are known for many spe- poorly described. Using an automated recording system, we compared the tem- H. gratiosa (barking treefrog), Rana catesbeiana (bullfrog), R. Clamitans (green Or bronze frog), and Acris gryllus (southern cricket frog)] between two different Wetlands on the Savannah River Site, South Carolina.
