Frog Call Behavior and Temperature Data from Two Tropical Island Species, 2023-2024

Tropical islands in the study region host two frog species, Pristimantis urichi and P. charlottevillensis. The dataset contains supplementary tables from a 2023-2024 study using passive acoustic monitoring at ten sites to analyze how air temperature affects call rate and duration. Author Renoir Auguste published the data under a CC-BY-4.0 license in 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between temperature and call rate based on the described acoustic features.
• Comparing behavioral responses to temperature between species with different geographic ranges.
• Informing conservation planning for the Pristimantis genus based on the described temperature sensitivity.
• Training species distribution models that incorporate behavioral thermoregulation data.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly linked to a published study methodology using passive acoustic monitoring.
• Focuses on two distinct species with quantified geographic range areas (~170 km² and ~2600 km²).
• Temporal coverage is specified as 2023 and 2024 across ten sampling sites.

Limitations

• The dataset is small (121.9 KB), suggesting limited scope or aggregated summary statistics.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
