Analyses
We included in the analyses only males that produced advertisement calls since calling indicates that males were motivated to
nd a mate. Only males that located the source of the female reply
were included in the analyses of searching time and cumulative
signalling duration. We compared the numbers of males and values
obtained in treatments with short and long female replies with the

Figure 2. The effect of duration of the female reply on signalling and searching behaviour of A. makarovi males. Duration of female reply: control treatment F10: 10.4 s; F5 treatment:
5.2 s; F20 treatment: 20.8 s; F41 treatment: 41.6 s. (a) Proportion of searching males; (b) proportion of calling males locating the source; (c) searching time; (d) calling rate in males
locating the source. Proportions and values obtained in the control F10 treatment are shown in black. (a, b) Determined proportion (black or white circle) together with 95%
condence interval for proportions is shown. Asterisks indicate values that are signicantly lower than in the F10 treatment (one-tailed Fisher's exact test: P < 0.05). (c, d) Box and
whisker plots show the median (black or white line), the 25e75% interquartile range (boxes) and the lowest and the highest data points still within 1.5 times the interquartile range
(whiskers). Asterisks indicate a signicant difference from the F10 treatment (Wilcoxon signed-ranks test: P < 0.05). N number of males.
