Description:
Male Hyla cinerea produce two distinctive calls. Acoustically intermediate calls are rare. Females discriminate between synthetic intermediates that differ by one cycle of amplitude modulation (50 per second). Processing appears to be continuous. The tree frog's auditory system thus provides a wide margin for the discrimination of its two principal signals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gerhardt, H C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Mar 10;199(4333):1089-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/628833" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
