Description of male calling song
: Three records from
two males
were examined. The calling song consists of a phrase which last in 30.8–34.6 s. Bioacoustics analyses show that a phrase is composed of totally 100–108 syllables (first 80–86 syllables are contiguous without gaps and last 20–22 syllables are isolated (gaps: 200–220 ms) (
Fig. 6A
). The phrase begins quietly and crescendo structure and is reached the maximum intensity at the 40–45 syllables (2/5 of the phrase) and lasting 20–22 short and isolated syllables (
Fig. 6A
). Each syllable (RPU) lasts in 215–317 ms. Oscillographic analysis shows that a syllable consists of two different parts (
Fig. 6B
) in the first part of the phrase. The syllable begins with low-amplitude pulses which last for 95–102 ms and the second part of syllable has a high amplitude structure and last for 120–155 ms (
Fig. 6C
). At the end of the phrase (the last 20–22 relatively short and isolated syllables), syllables last for 82–105 ms with gaps (180–220 ms) and each syllable includes 6–9 distinct elements (
Fig. 6C
).
