Abstract: Animals respond to internal and external environmental stimuli by means of acoustic communication which plays a critical role in mate choice decisions and reproductive success in anuran amphibians. Based on the types of amphibian acoustic communication and their acoustic spectrum characteristics, three major factors determining acoustic communication were reviewed here: acoustic generator, the levels of hormone in vivo and hormone in vitro (environmental hormone). Additionally, the mechanisms of acoustic communication in anuran amphibians were further analyzed, and a prospect of future research on anuran acoustic communication was proposed to provide theoretical support for the protection and recovery of reproductive and ecological environment for anuran amphibians.
