TLDR

A study from the University of California, Davis, reveals that climate change is affecting the mating calls of male frogs, making them 'sexier' as temperatures rise. The research, published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, suggests that warmer ponds lead to faster and more desperate calls, which females use as a cue for suitable breeding conditions. This dynamic could have significant implications for amphibian conservation as climate change continues.
