“Like architects behind the world’s great opera houses, male great bowerbirds build twiggy concert venues that amplify their raucous songs and make sure each note is pitch perfect to woo discerning females…” #scicomm#bioacoustics#sensoryecology#birdwww.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Male bowerbirds build acoustics into their love shrines

Experiments suggest bowers amplify males’ songs and tweak their frequencies to woo females attending their show

Frogs generally selected for proximity to tree falls, dead woody material (such as fallen/rotting branches, fallen palm bracts, etc.), presence of water pools (e.g. phytotelmata), and avoided areas with extensive ground vegetation and little canopy cover (3/3)

Males show a comparatively stronger selection for proximity to water pools than females, which is likely related to the parental duties (tadpole transport and deposition) that males are in charge of (2/3)

Have a look at our new #preprint#poisonfrogsrb.gy/jio8vk We show that despite huge variation in size and colour patterns, habitat selection is similar across populations (1/3)
