The Cuban treefrog invaded Florida in the 1930s and has since spread throughout the southeastern U.S. It produces a “grating squawk” as a mating call. Their call drowns out the mating calls of native frogs, hindering their ability to find a mate. Some frogs, like the Green treefrog, changed their calls, but this also may reduce their ability to attract a mate if females do not learn to recognize the new call.
How does the Cuban treefrog cause a reduction in biodiversity?(1 point)
Responses
It reduces biodiversity by reducing successful mating in native species.
