Multimodal communication has received increasing attention in recent years. While much is understood about how intended receivers (such as potential mates) respond to multimodal displays, less is known about how eavesdropping predators perceive and interpret these cues. The male túngara frog, Physalaemus pustulosus, is a neotropical anuran that attracts females with an acoustic call and a dynamically inflating/deflating vocal sac. However, the túngara frog's multimodal courtship display also attracts eavesdropping predators, such as fringe-lipped bats, Trachops cirrhosus. We utilized robotic frog models to expose fringe-lipped bats to multimodal túngara frog courtship displays. The models varied in call amplitude and/or the presence of voca...
