(by D. Şirin, M.S. Taylan & A. Mol) and calling song recorded from one male at 23–24 °C in the field (by D. Şirin & M.S. Taylan).
Description of song
. Four records from one male were evaluated. The calling song consists of a series of regular phrases (
Figure 12B
) with an interval of 2.570–
3.780 s
(3.120 ± 0.28). The phrases duration varies between 756–884 ms (802.48 ± 9.81) and consisting of 9–10 (9.81 ± 0.09) syllables. The phrase begins with 2 low amplitude and shorter syllables (first one is the shortest) and the maximum intensity is usually reached between 1/5 of the phrase (
Figure 12C
). The first 1–3 syllables at the beginning of the phrase usually include a pulse like quieter part, which lasts for 9–16 ms (13.02 ± 1.78). Syllable duration varies between 37 and 64 ms (56.25 ± 4.28) with an interval of 21–35 ms (26.18 ± 1.87). Oscillographic analyses show that the syllables consist of several high amplitudes elements (
Figure 12D
). These elements number are
4–7 in
the first syllable,
7–10 in
the second syllable, and 17–22 (generally 19–20) in the following syllables.
