(a)

PC1 = First principal component of Frequency Variables.

(b)

Mann-Whitney U test statistics for test between captive and wild recorded vocalizations from P. californicus on 5 spectral variables. Mann-Whitney U tests significant (*) at p<0.01. Median values (with 25% and 75% quartiles) and samples size from Mann-Whitney U tests are shown.

(c)

Data are from 6 individuals and 9 vocalizations.
