Table 1. Descriptions of acoustic properties measured.
Properties of calls | |
---|---|
Call duration (ms) | Time between onset of first pulse and offset of last pulse in a call |
Call rise time (ms) | Time between onset of first pulse and pulse of maximum amplitude |
Call fall time (ms) | Time between pulse of maximum amplitude and offset of last pulse |
50% Call rise time (ms) | Time between call onset and the half-amplitude point of earliest maximum peak in the call waveform |
50% Call fall time (ms) | Time between the half-amplitude point of the last maximum peak in the call waveform and pulse offset |
Pulses per call | Count of pulses (k) |
Pulse rate (pulses/s) | (k– 1)/t, where t is the time between onset of first pulse and onset of last pulse |
Dominant frequency (kHz) | Maximum frequency using Raven’s selection spectrum function over the duration of the entire call |
