Abstract

Semiochemicals, such as sex pheromones or predator kairomones, trigger inter- and intraspecific interactions among animals. With more than 7500 species, frogs (Anura) are a highly diverse group with complex life cycles and adaptations to aquatic and terrestrial habitats. In this review we give a comprehensive and numerical overview about the research conducted concerning semiochemical use in different anuran live stages. Analysing more than 300 studies, we found that chemical communication and kairomone recognition are best studied in tadpoles. Tadpoles of different species are well known to react for example to damage-released alarm substances or predator kairomones. This knowledge has been used in some species to elope more complex research questions about learning mechanisms or the impact of chemical pollution. But also juvenile frogs and adults have been in the focus of semiochemical research, e.g., analysing the recognition of predator kairomones, conspecific semiochemicals, substances involved in parental care, or potential courtship pheromones. However, compared to tadpoles the research efforts in these life stages are still scarce. Furthermore, the species studied regarding semiochemical use do not remotely reflect the diversity of anuran species known today. Future studies of anuran chemical communication should provide additional insight to the role of semiochemicals across different life stages and species.
