Here, we ponder how different interaction strategies lead to differences in call-timing mechanism functioning, and propose amendments to several prominent frameworks from the chorusing literature. https://academic.oup.com/icb/article-abstract/65/2/481/813291624 Sep 2025 12:27 +0000at://did:plc:7wxm2dh3vd6chtrv54vimkd7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzlgqckq5c2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/lukelarter.bsky.social/post/3lvvwuyct2k2dInternship opportunity to work with me (in collaboration with Drs. Matt Fuxjager and Rachel Page) next year to investigate links between physiological performance capacities and call properties in tungara frogs.

Tungara frogs use multifaceted cues to social context to guide adaptive flexibility in calling strategies. Cues involve conspecific stimulation patterns experienced between calls, and how these patterns interact with endogenous call rhythms. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.03.657715v112 Jul 2025 14:06 +0000at://did:plc:7wxm2dh3vd6chtrv54vimkd7/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltrjraomts2z
