Abstract:Acoustic communication plays important roles in the survival and reproduction of anurans. The perception and discrimination of conspecific sound signals of anurans were always affected by masking background noise. Previous studies suggested that some frogs evolved the high‐frequency hearing to minimize the low‐frequency noise. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the high‐frequency hearing in anurans have not been well explored. Here, we cloned and obtained the coding regions of a high‐frequency hearin… Show more
