雄性福勒蟾蜍发出的求偶叫声会受到叫声者身体大小和温度的影响。雌性能够区分这些叫声的变化，并选择最大的雄性。通过体温调节，雄性能够改变它们的叫声，使它们对雌性更具吸引力。
Male Fowler''s toads produce mating calls that are affected by the body size and temperature of the caller. Females are able to discriminate between variations in these calls and select the largest available males. By thermoregulation, males are able to alter their calls to make them more attractive to females.
