Eric Post, one of the researchers, notes that the increased frequency of croaking allows females to better assess environmental conditions and choose the optimal time for reproduction, which is critically important for the survival of their offspring.
Although scientists emphasize that global warming may alter the timing of when frogs begin their mating calls, the impact of these changes on frog population numbers still requires further study.
Moreover, previous research has primarily focused on the sounds produced by males, leaving female vocalization out of the spotlight, which calls into question existing notions of females as "silent choosers."
