| Abstract | Competition for mates often occurs in social settings composed of many displaying males. While this poses some special challenges for communication, the proximity of other males may also provide information that chorus participants may use to adaptively adjust their calling behavior to the local level of competition. Conducting behavioral observations in natural choruses as well as playback experiments with focal males, I investigated socially mediated plasticity in the calling behavior of a neotropical gladiator frog, Hypsiboas rosenbergi. In natural choruses, male call rate was negatively correlated with the distance to the nearest calling neighbor, suggesting that the presence and distance of competing males influences call rate in this species. In a playback experiment that tested for the effect of the presence and competitiveness of rivals, H. rosenbergi males proved able to quickly notice changes in their acoustic environment and to respond to those changes in a graded fashion. As competition increased (either by increasing the number or attractiveness of the simulated rivals), males raised their calling rate; as competition was reduced, males lowered their calling rate. This indicates that males can perceive changes in their social environment and modify their calling behavior in ways that reflect the level of competition in the chorus. This socially mediated plasticity in calling behavior may help males to economize their energy reserves. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
