Seasonal variation in nocturnal calling activity of a savanna anuran community in central Brazil
We studied the calling activity of a savanna anuran assemblage and correlated two climatic parameters, rainfall and air temperature, with anuran calling. We made observations from September 1991 until March 1993 and quantified nocturnal calling activity by counting the number of calling males for ea...
