Abstract excerpt
In Anurans, the specific mate recognition system (SMRS), which contributes to prezygotic isolation, is mainly based on morphological and call features. This is why such criteria are used by zoologists for taxonomic identification. In hybridogenetic water frogs (Rana ridibunda, R. lessonae, R. perezi, R. kl. grafi and R. kl. esculenta), hybridization opens up the question of the efficiency of these criteria for...
