Amid Tropical Storm Beryl in Houston, male Gulf Coast toads made daytime mating calls, following favorable weather conditions like rain, cooler temperatures, and barometric pressure changes.
The Gulf Coast toads in Houston, usually heard at night in a competitive chorus, were prompted by the storm to make daytime mating calls, possibly owing to the storm's unique weather conditions.
The Gulf Coast toads, typically breeding in early spring, took advantage of Beryl's effects, such as rain and cooler temperatures, to breed repeatedly during the summer in temporary pools formed by rainstorms.
