Notes.

For each signal, pulses with an inter-pulsepeak interval (IPPI) greater than 1.5 times the median IPPI of the signal were grouped into different sections. For signals that consisted of fewer than three pulses, pulses with an IPPI greater than 24 ms (three times the duration of a single pulse) were further grouped into different sections. In the call name column, ‘+’ is used to separate different sections of a call; the number denotes the number of pulses in that section; ‘(1 − )’ and ‘(2 − )’ denote repeated sections that consist of one and two pulses, respectively; the digital superscripts denote the number of repeats in the repeating section; ‘N’ denotes the last section of a call that varied in the number of pulses; the digital subscripts denote the median IPPIs of the last portion of the call; the subscript i denotes calls with a zero-to-peak sound pressure level of the first pulse approximately 10 dB weaker than that of the remainder within the call. For call types with more than one portion, the IPPI pattern of the last section is given.
