Fig. 1. Proportions of females choosing bimodal over unimodal alternatives. Numbers
above symbols show the sample size (number of females responding). Circles,
alternative to bimodal stimulus had only the high-frequency peak; squares,
alternative to bimodal stimulus had only the low-frequency peak.
SPLs equalized at 85 dB SPL except for tests of H.
avivoca; the bimodal stimulus was 86 dB SPL and the
single-peaked calls, 83 dB SPL (see the text for the rationale).
Error bars are 95% credible intervals; if there is a single error bar, there
was a significant (P<0.05) preference in a two-tailed binomial
test. *Previously published data re-plotted
