Fig. 2: Illustration of the different acoustic features describing sounds.

Oscillograms (a, b) with corresponding power spectra in Myripristis vittata and M. adusta (c, d), respectively. This comparison enables to highlight the difference between sounds without pattern that consist of a continuous series of pulses forming a single block (illustrated sound of M. vittata is composed of 7 pulses grouped in one block) and sounds with pattern consisting of a discontinuous series of pulses forming several blocks (illustrated sound of M. adusta is composed of three blocks made of two pulses each). P pulses; B blocks; F harmonics; F0 fundamental frequency; Fpeak dominant frequency.
