The call for a mate in frogs

The study of gray frogs conducted by the University of Minnesota (USA) shows that children who prefer males are more likely to make sexual calls as complex as possible.

The new discovery, published in the Animal Behavior magazine, mentions the mating calls of the frog species Hyla chrysocelis, which emits a series of popping sounds.

Typically, these calls range in length from 20 to 40 beats, and take between 5 and 15 calls per minute.

The results of the study show that the length and number of callouts usually depend on the males, but the females prefer longer calls and more spans.

That's not an easy thing, according to researcher Jessica Ward.

'Just like singing and dancing at the same time,' the American expert compares the frog's call to the way people choose their partners.

'We can also like versatile partners, such as those who have good income, good cooking, good financial management and caring children , ' Ward explained.
