Calling song (Fig. 4). The calling song is made up of a complex echeme-sequence made up of two regions: Region I is composed of 47±24 regular echemes made up of 5 to 15 syllables; Region II is much longer and made up of three different patterns of echemes (Table 2): Pattern 1 within Region II is similar to Region I, but includes only 2–4 echemes. Pattern 2 is a long echeme of 155±29 syllables, with a high amplitude at the beginning, decreasing in the middle and increasing again in the second half. Pattern 3 is a much shorter echeme made up of 80±4 syllables, with lower amplitudes and is made up of shorter syllables (Table 2). The syllables in the different regions have a similar broad-band frequency spectrum. The bandwidth of the broad-band dominant frequency ranges between 8 and 30 kHz. The spectrum is made up two main peaks: between 14 and 18 kHz and between 22 and 24 kHz.
