It is sometimes perceived that the cues affecting chorusing behavior in frogs are simple combinations of weather variables, and that closely related or sympatric species should respond to these cues...
The Function of Tail Displays in Male Rainbow Skinks (Carlia jarnoldae) (2005)
Tracy Langkilde, Lin Schwarzkopf, Ross A. Alford
A single display may be used in more than one context and, as such, may convey different information to different receivers. Tail displays in lizards are often performed in several contexts, and...
