Fig. 3. (A) Schematic protocol of the dishabituation experiment. Each night, two
introductory trials (not shown) were terminated after 30 s of suppression of
male calling by the initial ticking stimuli. The top dark gray bar shows the
temporal extent of the stimulus, with either a continuation or a switch to
another stimulus (broken line, test trial). Lower solid gray bars show the
relative timing of male advertisement and subsequent calling. The second bar
becomes broken to show the time during which habituated advertisement calling
was evaluated for post-stimulus-switch change, or dishabituation. ICI,
interclick interval; TTH, time to habituation; TTS, time to suppression. (B)
Example of a habituated bout of advertisement calling under a test condition.
The male had been suppressed for approximately 4 min prior to habituation. The
arrow marks the time point that the 180 ms ICI stimulus was changed to the 219
ms ICI. The bout was followed by 30 s of silence (not shown) while the 219 ms
ICI stimulus continued to play. The loudest slow-trill clicks are clipped
because of the male moving close to the hydrophone. On this time scale, the
peaks of the fast-trill clicks cannot be easily separated by eye because the
clicks overlap.
