Table 2.

Probabilities of association between sociality (selecting the highest social state for polymorphic species) and tonal sound complexity. Significant positive associations at p-values > 0.972 and 0.973** for two and four state complexity characters, respectively and significant negative associations at p-values < 0.028 and 0.027* for two and four state complexity characters, respectively
