Male and female mixed-sex swarm tones display harmonic overlap. (A) Representative mixed-sex swarm audio spectrogram. White dashed box highlights a portion of the significant overlap between the male second and female third harmonics (M2:F3). (B) Male and female swarm tone frequencies displayed separately by age. 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; F5, female fifth harmonic.
