Females preferred conspecific song to heterospecific
song
The first Bayesian model (Fig. 1 ) confirmed that females show a
preference for conspecific song in the operant chambers. Population
preference for conspecific song was 0.705 (95% credible intervals:
0.687, 0.748) and population preference for heterospecific song was
0.295 (95% credible intervals: 0.252, 0.313). Effective sample size
(ESS), a measure of the MCMC chain function and not associated with
sample size in a typical non-parametric analysis, was 1593.247.
Average hops per
conspecific/heterospecific trial was 521.93 (s.d. = 300.96). Full
results from the conspecific/heterospecific preference trials can be
found in the Supplementary Materials.
