Description of male calling song
: Totally three records from
two males
were examined. Calling song consists of a phrase lasting 25.05–28.64 s and composed of about 48–80 syllables (
Fig. 5D
). The phrase has a typical crescendo structure and is reached the maximum intensity at the 40–50 syllables (2/3 of the phrase) (
Fig. 5D
). Each syllable (RPU) lasts in 295–360 ms. Bioacoustics analysis shows that a syllable consists of two different parts (
Figs. 5E and 5F
). The first part last 175–188 ms and in this part syllables relatively have low-amplitude 9–10 pulses (with gaps 17–21 ms) and the second part of syllable (last in 125–145 ms) includes higher amplitude distinguishable 10–11 pulses. The second part of the syllable is ending with relatively a long syllable (last in 28–35 ms).
