Fig. 2. Jamming avoidance responses (JARs) in different settings or simulated. Interval and delay plots. (A,B) Female electric organ discharge (EOD) intervals are represented by circles; male EOD delay with respect to the female EOD are represented by asterisks plus lines. (A) Fish pair in laboratory settings (depicted in Fig. 1A). (B) Fish pair in natural environment (depicted in Fig. 1B). (C-F) Data generated numerically. Female train shown as interval vs time (circles); male train shown as delay vs time (asterisks plus lines). M^*, mean interval in the absence of perturbations. (C) Data generated with model X attempting to mimic the situation in A; female faster train (M^*=36.0 ms); male slower train (M^*=36.5 ms). (D) Data generated with model Z attempting to mimic the situation in B. Female slower train (M^*=36.0 ms); male faster train (M^*=18.0 ms). (E) Data generated with model Z attempting to mimic the situation in A. Female faster train (M^*=36.0 ms); male slower train (M^*=36.5 ms). (F) Data generated with model Z attempting to mimic the situation in B. Female slower train (M^*=36.0 ms); male faster train (M^*=18.0 ms).
