Melbourne University ecologist Kirsten Parris reports the sound of car horns is drowning out the sweet, seductive tones of the popplebonk(!) frog. To wit:
"...competition from traffic noise in Melbourne could be a reason why frog numbers have declined in Australia's second-largest city since her survey of more than 100 ponds began in 2000, she said."
By the way, eight years of frog pond sex surveys may also impact your sex life.
