Abstract
Autonomous recorders are frequently used for examining vocal behaviour of animals, and are particularly effective in remote habitats. Southern right whales are known to have an extensive acoustic repertoire. A recorder was moored at the isolated sub-Antarctic Auckland Islands for a year to examine whether the acoustic behaviour of southern right whales differed seasonally and throughout the day at their main calving ground in New Zealand. Recordings were made in each month except June, and vocalizations were audible in all months with recordings except January. A total of 35 487 calls were detected, of which upcalls were the most common (11 623). Call rate peaked in August (288 ± 5.9 [s.e.] calls/hour) and July (194 ± 8.3). Vocal behaviour varied diurnally with highest call rates detected at dusk and night, consistent with the concept that upcalls function primarily as contact calls. Zero-inflated model results confirmed that seasonal variation was the most important factor for explaining differences in vocal behaviour. An automated detector designed to expedite the analysis process for North Atlantic right whales correctly identified 80% of upcalls, although false detections were frequent, particularly when call rates were low. This study is the first to attempt year-round monitoring of southern right whale presence in New Zealand.

Abstract
Thermal and water balance are coupled in anurans, and species with particularly permeable skin avoid overheating more effectively than minimizing variance of body temperature. In turn, temperature affects muscle performance in several ways, so documenting the mean and variance of body temperature of active frogs can help explain variation in behavioral performance. The two types of activities studied in most detail, jumping and calling, differ markedly in duration and intensity, and there are distinct differences in the metabolic profile and fiber type of the supporting muscles. Characteristics of jumping and calling also vary significantly among species, and these differences have a number of implications that we discuss in some detail throughout this paper. One question that emerges from this topic is whether anuran species exhibit activity temperatures that match the temperature range over which they perform best. Although this seems the case, thermal preferences are variable and may not necessarily reflect typical activity temperatures. The performance versus temperature curves and the thermal limits for anuran activity reflect the thermal ecology of species more than their systematic position. Anuran thermal physiology, therefore, seems to be phenotypically plastic and susceptible to adaptive evolution. Although generalizations regarding the mechanistic basis of such adjustments are not yet possible, recent attempts have been made to reveal the mechanistic basis of acclimation and acclimatization.

Abstract
Senders and receivers influence dynamic characteristics of the signals used for mate attraction over different time scales. On a moment-to-moment basis, interactions among senders competing for a mate influence dynamic characteristics, whereas the preferences of receivers of the opposite gender exert an influence over evolutionary time. We observed and recorded the calling patterns of the bird-voiced treefrog Hyla avivoca, to assess how the dynamic characters of calls vary during interactions among groups of males in a chorus. This question was also addressed using playback experiments with males. Playback experiments with females showed how changes in dynamic call properties are likely to affect male mating success. Frogs calling in pairs, groups, or in response to playbacks produced longer calls than did isolated males. During call overlap, males often increased the duration of the silent interval (gaps) between the pulses of their calls so that the pulses of the calls of two neighbors interdigitated. This change resulted in increased variability of pulse rate, a traditionally static acoustic property; however, males also produced high proportions of non-overlapped calls in which variability in pulse rate was low and had species-typical values. Females preferred long calls to short and average-duration calls, and non-overlapped calls to overlapped calls. Given a choice between pairs of overlapped calls, females preferred pairs in which the proportion of overlap was low and pairs in which the pulses of such calls interdigitated completely. The observed patterns of vocal competition thus reflect the preferences of conspecific females, which have influenced the evolution of the calling behavior of H. avivoca.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Reproductive success in thermally varying environments will depend on maintaining metabolic capacity of tissues that are important in mating behaviours. Here we test the hypothesis that cold acclimation will occur in those tissues that are important for reproduction, and that acclimation will be sex specific, reflecting behavioural differences between the sexes. We used the frog Limnodynastes peronii as a model because anurans engage in energetically demanding reproductive behaviour, and many species, including L. peronii, are reproductively active across seasons. Additionally,reproductive behaviours such as calling and amplexus are sex specific. We acclimated animals to naturally occurring autumn (15°C, N=10) and summer (25°C, N=10) temperatures. Whole-animal resting oxygen consumption decreased with lowered temperature, but there was no difference in oxygen consumption between acclimation treatments or sexes. However, the respiratory control ratio (RCR) of mitochondria from the liver and external oblique calling muscle increased with cold acclimation. The increase in RCR with thermal acclimation was due to upregulation of state 3 respiration, and not to a decrease in state 4 respiration. Males had higher activity of citrate synthase, β-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase and cytochrome coxidase than females in the calling (external oblique) muscle, and males also showed thermal acclimation of these enzymes while females did not. Additionally, males had greater activity of metabolic enzymes in the principal muscle (extensor carpi radialis) used during amplexus. However, there were no differences in metabolic capacity between sexes in the gastrocnemius muscle and in liver, and both sexes showed significant acclimation of lactate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase in the former and latter,respectively. In L. peronii, thermal acclimation of metabolic capacities is linked to reproductive success, and reversible phenotypic plasticity therefore confers a selective advantage by extending the temporal and spatial extent of the animals' fundamental niche.

Abstract
Rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release were measured in calling and resting painted reed frogs, Hyperolius marmoratus. O2 consumption increased linearly with call rate and reached 0.91 ml/g . h at average call rates of 3100 calls/hr. The respiratory quotient (RQ = VCO2/VO2) was calculated to evaluate which metabolic substrates--lipids or carbohydrates--are utilized. Males that were not fed for a week had significantly lower RQ's during calling (0.75) than recently fed males (0.89) and thus utilized approximately twice as much lipid to fuel calling. Whole-body lipid reserves of males collected in the field varied considerably. Lipid stores alone would be sufficient to provide energy for a median of 15 nights of calling activity at a high density chorus.
