Table 2. Effects of context and ontogenetic phase on sound features.

Results refer to parametric two-way ANOVAs in the case of sound duration, number of pulses and pulse period following data transformations and to the equivalent non-parametric test for peak frequency. Fifty sounds were considered per ontogenetic class and context (see Materials and Methods for details).
