I read this last week and I had a question which might be a silly question but here goes: I thought it was a good behavioral finding but it's such a statistically small number so despite the negative impacts of the behavior, does it matter because the number is so minuscule?
It's a great question! Now I'm not really working in the field,so any comment here is from what I've read for this story!
From what I understand scientists aren't really going in forests trying to see what are frogs mistaking for mates. But even though they weren't looking for it they found enough examples to make it statistically significant. They assume that more examples like that exist, and will probably look into it with more detail in the future.
