- Abstract
The article reports on analysis of visual signalling in Australo-Papuan hylid frogs of the genus Litoria. It informs that hand-waving, foot-flagging and leg-flicking semaphore behavior were observed in three Litoria species from eastern Australia and from Papua New Guinea. It informs that foot-flagging behavior is not influenced by ambient light and visual signalling is most prevalent either in diurnal species or in species living in visually challenging environments.
