Data from: Social facilitation is a better predictor of frog reproductive activity than environmental factors

Anuran breeding activity is frequently linked to environmental factors,
mainly temperature and rainfall. However, a key feature of anuran
reproductive behavior—gathering in choruses and producing loud
advertisement calls to attract females—generates a conspicuous social cue
that may also facilitate reproductive behavior. Here, I examine the
relative importance of environmental and social factors in explaining the
intensity of reproductive activity in the Neotropical treefrog Hypsiboas
rosenbergi. I show that social cues generally play an important role, but
that there are sex differences: male behavior is associated with a
combination of environmental and social factors, while female behavior is
associated almost exclusively with social cues. I discuss the potential
benefits of using social cues in regulating breeding activity, and suggest
that conservation efforts may take advantage of the apparently widespread
pattern of social facilitation in anuran reproductive ecology.
