   02-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Male túngara frogs produce two types of calls to attract females: simple and complex. Female túngara frogs, as well as unintended receivers such as frog-eating bats and blood-sucking flies, prefer complex to simple mating calls. Bernal et al. tested whether bats and flies prefer complex calls because they indicate higher quality males and/or higher male density. The authors found that call complexity indicate higher abundance of prey/host.
