BKize writes "Like a teenager turning his guitar amp up to 11, Nature magazine has an article on the discovery that a male Bornean frog tunes its mating call to its home tree cavity to maximize the sound volume, and thereby increase the odds it will attract a female. A lab experiment revealed the frog dynamically adjusts the frequency of the call if the acoustic properties of the cavity change."
