Abstract
The results of multi-year acoustic monitoring using automated recording systems (ARS) of the calling activity of two populations per species of five species of anurans from the Iberian peninsula are reported: two species of tree frogs (Hyla) and three species of midwife toads (Alytes), with populations of each species being located at the thermal extremes (coldest vs. hottest) of their distribution. We also report one instance where ARS systems contributed to the recording of a previously undescribed species call, the Moroccan midwife toad. We report methodological procedures such as calculation of the effective area of the recording station, temperature-specific phenological information, and a comparative analysis of environmental predictors of calling activity. Implications for amphibian monitoring and conservation are discussed.
