  1. Comparison of PCA scores between the chosen and the rejected male taking into account the two closest calling males (closest males), the chosen male and the average of all other contact males (contact males), and the chosen male and the average of all other males whose territories overlapped with the territory of the female (all males) using the paired t-test.
