From: Power-law scaling of calling dynamics in zebra finches
The power-law scaling of the self-contained (“f-f”, “m-m”) and of the reactive (“m-f”, “f-m”) callings change independently. Data are shown from the female-male pair “u”. (a) Successions of calling events of a female and a male during cohabitation (coh). (b) Successions of calling events of a female and a male after separation (sep) of the birds into two acoustically interconnected chambers allowing only acoustic interactions. (c) Successions of calling events of a female and a male after separating the birds into two chambers without any interconnection, neither visual nor auditory (iso = isolation). (d) Comparison of empirical cumulative distribution functions (eCDFs) between the inter-event intervals (τ) of cohabitation (coh), separation (sep), (sep) and isolation (iso). Note that the exponents changed dramatically only after isolation of the male and female zebra finches. P(τ): the cumulative distribution of the inter-event intervals; τ (s): the inter-event intervals in seconds.
