Do calls occur most often on preferred males territories?
Significantly more loud calls by females were observed on unsuccessful males’ territories than expected from the proportion of observed females on unsuccessful males’ territories both in 1992 and 1994 (Figure 3). In 1993 all calls and all observed females at the time of calling were on successful males territories, preventing statistical testing. Significantly more female calls than expected were observed on unsuccessful males territories when the data from all years were pooled (Figure 3).
