But all bets are off if you throw in a third, less attractive frog, new research shows.Researchers evaluated mating calls from male tuacute;ngara frog for the new study, published this week in the journal Science. The finding adds to a growing body of research suggesting that mating choices don ;t follow rational expectations.Male frogs produce a stanley cup sound to advertise themselves to potential mates.

But when researchers added a third option to the mix that performed worse on both metrics, the female frog would often choose the intermediate option.Study author Amanda Lea, a researcher at the University of Texas at A stanley botella ustin, likened the scenario, known as the decoy effect, to the way in which a consumer might behave when purchasing a new car. A customer may opt to buy a cheap car with poor fuel efficiency instead of a more expensive car with good fuel efficiency.
