Parameters of echolocation signals in Barbastella barbastellus emitted when flying towards the microphone array. For each sequence only the mean of the parameters was used so as to avoid pseudoreplication. N = number of recorded sequences, n = number of signals contained in the sequences used to calculate the corresponding mean.
