We investigated the seasonal interaction among a specialized eavesdropping, frog-biting midges (Corethrella spp.), and their anuran hosts. Overall abundance of midges decreased in the dry season with little differences in abundance of species.

We investigate how signal synchronization is shaped by natural and sexual selection in two frog species. Our results show that synchronization reduces exposure to eavesdroppers and relaxed selection by females is likely important.

We investigated how the different call types of a Japanese stream breeding treefrog are affected by automobile traffic noise. This noise affected signal types in different ways suggesting some social functions will be disrupted more than others.

We examined call timing strategies of the Ryukyu Kajika frog showing variation in temporal signaling strategies within a species with a call type that is synchronized with neighbors and another one that is produced alternating.

We investigated two non-mutually exclusive hypotheses: 1) beacon effect and 2) eavesdropper avoidance. We found that synchronized signalling both increasing attraction of females to the chorus and reducing eavesdropper attacks.
