Read the paper by Akre and colleagues (2011), "Signal Perception in Frogs and Bats and the Evolution of Mating Signals" (Science, vol. 333, pp. 751- 752). Describe how female túngara frogs and frog-eating bats apply opposing selection pressures on the evolution of male túngara frog calls. Then, describe how the authors applied Weber's Law to understand potential limits on the evolution of increasingly exaggerated male calls.
