== Home range and territoriality == The mating displays of male spring peepers vary with different environmental factors: humidity and vegetation density. These factors play a significant role in the [[arboreal]] behavior and nature of spring peepers during mating. At sites with higher humidity and air temperature, there is increased dominance of arboreal behavior, which showcases that latitude may play a role.<ref name="Cicchino-2019" /> Spring peepers which reside in areas of warmer temperatures tend to exhibit arboreal behavior to greater extents compared to those in environments of lower temperatures. When comparing the improvement of mating calls in males, calls from above ground compared to those near the ground showcased better results. Local vegetation may also play a role in the betterment of arboreal calling compared to calling from lower levels due to the spatial aspects interrupting the call.<ref name="Cicchino-2019">{{Cite journal |last1=Cicchino |first1=Amanda S |last2=Cairns |first2=Nicholas A |last3=Bulté |first3=Grégory |last4=Lougheed |first4=Stephen C |date=2019-10-07 |editor-last=Taborsky |editor-first=Michael |title=High and dry: Trade-off in arboreal calling in a treefrog mediated by local environment |journal=Behavioral Ecology |pages=arz169 |doi=10.1093/beheco/arz169 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Spring peepers almost always migrate at night.{{where|date=July 2024}}<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Todd |first1=Brian D. |last2=Winne |first2=Christopher T. |date=May 2006 |title=Ontogenetic and interspecific variation in timing of movement and responses to climatic factors during migrations by pond-breeding amphibians |url=http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/10.1139/z06-054 |journal=Canadian Journal of Zoology |language=en |volume=84 |issue=5 |pages=715–722 |doi=10.1139/z06-054 |issn=0008-4301|url-access=subscription }}</ref> This is most likely to prevent drying out.
