description
Description of song. Nine records from three males were examined. The calling song consists of polysyllabic sequences of variable duration (0.62 – 3.99 s (2.51 ± 0.91 )) with an interval of 5 – 40.66 s (14.73 ± 8.91) (Figure 1 B). Sequences are consisting of 125 – 235 (211.67 ± 21.86) syllables. At the beginning of the sequences, the syllables are in low amplitude (nearly first 30 syllables) than the remaining syllables are in a sequence (Figure 1 C). The syllable period duration varies between 11 and 16 ms (13.02 ± 1.02). The number of syllables in 100 ms is 7 – 8 (Figure 1 C). Syllables have a crescendo structure and each of syllables includes 6 – 12 impulses (8.25 ± 1.28) (Figure 1 D).
