Abstract

D URING the summer of 1952 and the spring of 1953 a study was made of the effects of temperature on the breeding calls of some Oklahoma salientians. An attempt was made to determine the relationship of air and water temperature to the number of calls produced in a given time interval (frequency of call) and to the lengths of the individual calls. All of the data were taken in the field in order to obtain results which would reflect the unhampered expression of the animals at the breeding sites. Four species were studied: Pseudacris nigrita triseriata Wied, Pseudacris clarki Baird, Pseudacris streckeri Wright and Wright, and Bufo terrestris charlesmithi Bragg. All of the work was done in Oklahoma, the majority of it in Cleveland County. METHODS
