  1. 1a – lowamp part of principal note; 1b – highamp part of principal note; 2 – secondary note; see Figure 2 for further explanation of terms. MANOVA was used to assess the overall differences between all 18 variables (Pillai’s Trace = 0.943, F = 78.664, p < 0.001), followed by one-way ANOVA for each variable (* = p ≤ 0.05; *** = p ≤ 0.001). Values in columns that are non-overlapping between the two species are in bold, and those that are very marginally overlapping are in italics.
