Table 1. Trajectory and time budget of A. femoralis females.
We quantified distances traveled by female frogs, defined centers of more intense use and analyzed the female trajectory with respect to the time spent in centers of use, on sallies to the surrounding and on courtship and mating. Distances indicated for ‘total distance traveled’ were not corrected for tracking duration.
