Table 3. Flight behavior summary statistics according to experimental conditions and sound signal attributes.
Data show means ± SEM and 95% CI (given in brackets as “[lower boundary, upper boundary]”). Columns A and B group together all control flights and all treatment flights, respectively. Columns C–F provide the adjusted (treatment minus control) data for each type of sound signal separately.
Flight metric | (A) All control flights | (B) All treatment flights | (C) 4-6 B treatment flights (adjusted by controls) | (D) 4-6 O treatment flights (adjusted by controls) | (E) 6-8 B treatment flights (adjusted by controls) | (F) 6-8 O treatment flights (adjusted by controls) |
