(by D. Şirin, M.S. Taylan & A. Mol) and calling song recorded from three males at 31 °C in the field (D. Şirin & M.S. Taylan).
Description of song
. Nine records from three males were examined. The calling song consists of polysyllabic sequences of variable duration (0.62–
3.99 s
(2.51± 0.91)) with an interval of 5–
40.66 s
(14.73 ± 8.91) (
Figure 1B
). Sequences are consisting of 125–235 (211.67 ± 21.86) syllables. At the beginning of the sequences, the syllables are in low amplitude (nearly first 30 syllables) than the remaining syllables are in a sequence (
Figure 1C
). The syllable period duration varies between 11 and 16 ms (13.02 ± 1.02). The number of syllables in 100 ms is 7–8 (
Figure 1C
). Syllables have a crescendo structure and each of syllables includes 6–12 impulses (8.25 ± 1.28) (
Figure 1D
).
