In this episode, Laura is joined by Sanaa Khan, a PhD Candidate at University of California, Davis who studies this incredible system. We will be talking about how the species reproduces, what it means for evolution, and what her research is uncovering. </p>

Episode 27: Beauty is in the ear of the beholder: the science of mate choice in frogs
<p>Ahhh, frogs calling. A sure sign of spring. But can you tell the difference between the songs of attractive and unattractive frogs? Our guest, Olivia Feagles, can. In this episode, Dr. Feagles explains how to measure the attractiveness of frog calls.
