The populations have been isolated from each other for at least 10 000 years. For her thesis, a student interested in reproductive isolation performed a mate choice experiment in which she put a female frog between two speakers. One speaker played the call of a male from the female's own population while the other speaker played the call of a male from the population on the opposite side of the canyon. She repeated this experiment with 20 females from each population and recorded which call each female approached first. She obtained the following results.
