Mean response (SD) of calling males to the playback used in our different tests

Tests	Variation in temporal structures of calls						Call production

	Call length in seconds			Average number of pulses			Average calls per minute
	Before	During	After	Before	During	After	Before	During	After
Average call	2.32 (0.27)	2.93 (0.18)^*	2.87 (0.76)^*	18.9 (1.7)	22.2 (1.5)^*	23.2 (2.7)^*	4.8 (0.7)	5.9 (1)^*	5.6 (0.8)^*

Longer call	2.34 (0.25)	3.06 (0.28)^*	2.98 (1.26)^*	17.8 (2.1)	25.7 (2.6)^*	24.8 (1.9)^*	4.9 (0.6)	6.2 (1.2)^*	5.4 (1.1)

Distant neighbor	2.43 (0.39)	2.93 (0.29)^*	3.02 (1.44)^*	18.6 (0.6)	21.5 (1.6)^*	23.7 (1.2)^*	4.8 (0.6)	5.4 (1.3)^*	4.4 (0.9)

Multiple Male	2.08 (0.67)	3.02 (0.27)^*	2.94 (0.93)^*	18.2 (1.3)	23 (3.1)^*	23.2 (1.9)^*	4.8 (0.5)	5.8 (0.3)^*	5.6 (1.2)^*

Denotes a significance of P < 0.05 for a One-factor Repeated Measures ANOVA for the differences observed on the measured temporal parameters between different times during the tests rather than between tests.
