Figure 1

Male and female single-sex swarm tones vary by swarm period and sex. (A) Representative male single-sex swarm audio spectrogram. Male fundamental swarm tone frequencies (B, C) and amplitudes (D) analyzed by swarm period. (E) Representative female single-sex swarm audio spectrogram. Female fundamental swarm tone frequencies (F, G) and amplitudes (H) analyzed by swarm period. Lowercase letters above box and whisker plots denote Tukey post-hoc test p-values for comparisons between swarm periods. Abbreviations: M1, male fundamental flight tone harmonic; M2, male second harmonic; M3, male third harmonic; M4, male fourth harmonic; F1, female fundamental flight tone harmonic; F2, female second harmonic; F3, female third harmonic; F4, female fourth harmonic.
