It was a pleasure to contribute to this amazing initiative by #ProcB. In our paper, Angela M. Mendoza-Henao, Johana Goyes Vallejos, and I provide an overview of female calling behaviour in frogs, highlighting this largely overlooked aspect of anuran behaviour. Read our paper here: bit.ly/4gT0aao

We're really happy to finally see this out in Integrative Zoology! We investigated whether the type of breeding site influences the evolution of male weaponry, using Neotropical frogs from the subfamily Leptodactylinae as models. (1/3) @uspoficial.bsky.social @cienciausp.bsky.social

When you see a calling frog, you probably think it’s a male, right? 🐸🎶♂❓ Not always! Check out the work that Angela Mendoza-Henao, Johana Goyes Vallejos, and I just published in #ProcB @royalsociety.org #Ecology #Evolution #AnimalBehavior #Herpetology

Ever wondered how flowers compete for space on a pollinator's body? Check out our new paper! 🌸 Led by @pammsantana.bsky.social, we reveal how plants with granular pollen can exhibit a last-male advantage. 🤓

The last chapter of my PhD research is now available! We investigate the role of breeding sites in the evolution of male weapons in Neotropical frogs. Our results —somewhat counterintuitive in light of mating systems theory— shed light on the mechanisms of weapons evolution in external fertilizers.
