Visual displays, including those involving movements of the feet, may act as a substitute for vocal communication in streamside environments where noise may interfere with detection of vocal signals (Heyer et al. 1990.

Abstract
[Abstract] Foot flagging behavior by male Litoria nannotis has only been observed in the presence of conspecific males, and the display was presumed to be related to male-male aggression (Richards and James 1992. Mem. Queensland Mus. 32:302). In this note we describe, for the first time, foot flagging by a male L. nannotis in the presence of a female.
