Basic models included all fixed and random effects, intercept models included only the random effects, and best models included only the significant fixed effects based on AICc selection as well as the random effects. Listed fixed effects represent the test statistics of the significant factors according to the model selection. Playback experiments were conducted on 16 groups, with each group receiving all playback treatments.
