Ambient temperature can affect acoustic communication signals produced by ectothermic signalers. For example, the temporal features of acoustic signals can occur at a higher rate at higher temperatures. If species recognition is based on evaluating these temporal features, temperature-related changes in signal features can compromise the ability of a receiver to recognize the signaler.
