Calling onsets of 3 individuals over two time periods, following a “selfish chorusing” phase-shift rule. In the first period (left) individual B (blue) is surrounded by much silence, hence in the second period (right) B will postpone its call and signal between R (red) and G (green). Likewise, G will anticipate its call and signal between B and R. Individual R’s optimal strategy is to keep its call onset unchanged. Figure reproduced and modified from (Ravignani, 2014).
