drawn in, the males use a different form of calling, which is categorized as close-range courtship calls. This call convinces the females to mate with them. About 40% of a male golden rocket frog’s energy for activity is used for vocalizations. Males tend to call from their territories for several hours a day Some scientists have concluded that females tend to prefer males with higher call rates, as a high call rate is associated with a good male body condition. Thus, the call rate indirectly provides information regarding a male’s resource acquiring and competitive abilities. Other scientists have concluded that the main feature of a call that is looked at by females when determining a mate is the duration of the call. A longer duration of call has been associated with better parental care. Females that respond to the calls are led to multiple phytotelmata by the courting male. In some instances, it was found that the females might leave the male that was calling and look at other sites. These frogs tend to have more acoustic complexity when performing vocalizations meant for mating and courtship compared to when the vocalization is meant for aggressive behaviors. Call Differentiation The properties of a male’s calling are not correlated to snout-vent length or mass and dominant frequency. It is possible that the calling provides information so that species recognition can occur as there are frogs that that are similar and live nearby the golden rocket frog. For example, the Kaiei’s rocket frog is closely related to the golden rocket frog and its call is like the advertisement calls of the golden rocket. However, the Kaiei’s rocket frog has a call with a lower dominant frequency and pulse rate. The three calls that the Anomaloglossuss beebei frog produces are advertisement, courtship, and aggressive calls. All three calls include a short period of multiple pulses, but there are also noticeable differences between the calls in different parts of each. The advertisement calls are produced at a high amplitude and have longer individual pulses themselves when compared to the courtship and aggressive calls. The courtship calls were distinguishable by their low frequencies. The aggressive calls included a higher number of pulses for each call and had longer waiting periods between each call produced. The aggressive call even sometimes has one or two beginning pulses before the pulsed call begins. Male/male Interaction Males are able to
