1. Male frogs of many species aggregate in close proximity in the shallow water of ponds and produce conspicuous calls to attract female for mating. Two major disadvantages of calling in large groups like this is that it may make both males and females more susceptible to predation and it may lead to increased competition between males for access to the limited number of females that come to the pond to spawn. a. Please provide two hypotheses for ways in which this explosive breeding assemblage could in fact decrease the risks of predation for individual males and females, selecting for males to call in close proximity to other males and for females to seek out areas of ponds with large numbers of calling males.
