Table 1.

Response characteristics of three choerocampine hawkmoth species to tactile stimulation and bat echolocation playback. Time of onset to bat attack, referenced to the last biosonar cry of the playback, is included for three echolocation sequences. We measured temporal response from the end of the recordings due to higher signal-to-noise ratios. Sample sizes (n) listed for onset timing note subsets of moths out of the total number that responded to one or more playbacks. Values are mean ± s.d. Asterisk (*) indicates data collected during a separate expedition.
