“…We conducted all experiments with the agreement of the Ministry of Environment from the Republic of Korea under permit numbers 2013-16, 2014-04, 2014-08, 2014-20, 2015-3, 2015-4, 2015-6, 2015-28, and 2016-5. Dryophytes suweonensis is slender and smaller than D. japonicus (Borzée et al, 2013), and the earlier species is active earlier in the afternoon than the latter, although both species are principally active at night (Borzée et al, 2016b). Dryophytes japonicus is widespread on the Asian mainland until central Mongolia and the Baikal lake region in Russia (Dufresnes et al, 2016;Kuzmin et al, 2017) but the two species only co-occur on the western lowlands of the Korean Peninsula, where the distribution of D. suweonensis is restricted to agricultural wetlands due to widespread habitat modification (Roh et al, 2014;Borzée and Jang, 2015;Borzée et al, 2015aBorzée et al, , 2018aBorzée and Seliger, 2018). The use of rice paddies impacts the breeding behavior of both species (Borzée et al, 2018b;Groffen et al, 2018), which display both temporal and spatial segregation during the breeding season (Borzée et al, 2016a,b).…”
