Post-playback | 12.18 ± 3.94 | 13.08 ± 5.37* | 10.07 ± 4.83 | 12.60 ± 4.12 | |
Percent Time calling | Pre-playback | 60.37 ± 15.64* | 74.26 ± 13.54*** | 56.07 ± 10.14 | 64.82 ± 16.69 |

First-call latency (s) | Pre-playback | 26.82 ± 2.32 | 27.44 ± 3.73 | 26.40 ± 8.97 | 27.32 ± 3.93 |
Post-playback | 22.89 ± 7.38 | 19.64 ± 7.04*** | 17.31 ± 9.83 | 19.76 ± 5.95** |
For call rate, call bout duration and percent time calling, measurements were taken for pre-stimulus playback, during stimulus playback and post-stimulus playback periods. We were unable to measure dominant frequency and first-call latency during stimulus playbacks, therefore only pre- and post-playback values were analyzed. For call rate, call bout duration and percent time calling, asterisks indicate the level of significance difference between pre-/post-playback periods and during playback periods, and for dominant frequency and first call latency, asterisks indicate the level of significance difference between pre- and post-playback periods
