Figure 2


Fig. 2. Power spectra of selected subharmonic and chaotic regimes of sound in Fig. 1. (A) Subharmonics at integer multiples of 0.5 fundamental frequency (f0). The 0.5 f0 component is low intensity and coincides with a faint tonal artifact. (B) Chaos. (C) Subharmonics at 0.1 f0. Subharmonics that are fractional integers of f0 are at a low level because of roll-off of the ultrasonic microphone and some are masked in noise. Each power spectrum represents a 5 ms segment of sound at the time indicated by vertical arrows a, d and e in Fig. 1. Shaded peaks below approximately 12 kHz did not arise from the frog, but are low-amplitude tonal artifacts present in the recording even when sublaryngeal pressure was at ambient level and no air was flowing through the frog's vocal system.
