Fig. 2. Number of low-frequency chirps (mean ± s.e.m.) produced during
playback stimulation as a function of Df in male (A) and female (B) A.
leptorhynchus (open squares) and A. albifrons (closed circles).
(A) Male A. leptorhynchus (N=11, open squares) produced more
low-frequency chirps to stimuli close in frequency to their own EOD (within 20
Hz) than to distant frequencies (±150 Hz). Similarly, A.
albifrons males (N=16, closed circles) produced more
low-frequency chirps to stimuli 5 Hz lower than their own EOD compared to
stimuli 150 Hz higher or lower. (B) There was no effect of Df on the
production of low-frequency chirps in A. leptorhynchus females
(N=9, open squares), although the trend was similar to the overall
effect of Df seen in males. Female A. albifrons (N=15,
closed circles) produced more low-frequency chirps to stimuli within 5 Hz of
their own EOD than stimuli 150 Hz lower or higher. Data points with different
letters differ significantly from each other; Tukey's HSD, P<0.05.
NS, no significant effect of Df (repeated-measures ANOVA,
P>0.05).
