寻找一个能够接受性的异性伴侣是一个挑战；一种解决方案是做广告。广告通常是男性的职责，这塑造了性选择的场景，尤其是热情主动的男性向被动但挑剔的女性求爱。在此，我们考虑一个不寻常的案例，其中对繁殖的限制可能导致雌性青蛙进行生育广告。当产卵即将到来时，雌性南非爪蛙会游向广告中的雄性，并发出一种催情的叫声，即敲击声，刺激雄性发声和接近。雄性会用一种独特的回应叫声来回应敲击声。因此，说唱-回答互动形成了接受对的伙伴之间的二重唱。
Finding a sexually receptive partner of the opposite sex is a challenge; one solution is to advertise. That advertising is usually the province of males has shaped scenarios for sexual selection, especially the ardent active male courting the passive but choosy female. Herein we consider an unusual case in which constraints on reproduction may have led to fertility advertisement by female frogs. When oviposition is imminent, female South African clawed frogs swim to an advertising male and produce an aphrodisiac call, rapping, that stimulates both male vocalization and approach. Males respond to rapping with a distinctive answer call. The rapping-answer interaction thus forms a duet between partners of a receptive pair.
