Is the Frequency Content of the Calls in North American Treefrogs Limited by Their Larynges?

Table 2

Relationship between pressure differential (PD) across the larynx and sound frequency (FR), laryngeal airflow (AF), or sound pressure (SP) for three species of treefrogs as fit with straight lines.

SpeciesFrequency (Hz)Airflow (dm3/min)Sound pressure (Pa)

H. versicolor FR = 337PD − 33153AF = 1.573PD − 159.467SP = 0.415PD − 42.202
P. streckeri FR = 345PD − 33924AF = 0.889PD − 90.689SP = 0.226PD − 23.087
A. crepitans FR = 600PD − 59450AF = 0.799PD − 81.504SP = 0.254PD − 26.040
