Abstract: The advertisement calls of the recently described species of midwife toad (Alytes dickhilleni) are described, and a characteristic audiospectrogram and waveform of the call are presented. We also provide numerical data about the spectral and temporal features of the calls. Information about calling behaviour and the relationship between call parameters, size, and temperature are provided as well.

IMPORTANT NOTE - JUNE 2020

Please note that as from Volume 31 Number 1 (January 2021) on, the Herpetological Journal will be available as an online publication only - the last print edition will be Volume 30 Number 4.   

Aligning with this change, it is now no longer possible to purchase a subscription that includes a print copy of the HJ.  All members who have existing HJ print subscriptions that remain active as at end June 2020 will receive the full four 2020 print editions.  New subscribers or renewals after this time will only have option to subscribe to the online only subscription package.  Subscription pricing has been amended to reflect the content changes.
