Table 2 Results of the one-way Anova testing for differences between individuals for each acoustic parameter and arousal condition and the correlation coefficient with the three most important PCs for the DFA; LOW = Low arousal condition; HIGH = High arousal condition; bold p-values represent significant difference p < 0.05; bold loading factors represent the parameters showing loading factors higher than 0.700 with the respective PC

From: Vocal correlates of sender-identity and arousal in the isolation calls of domestic kitten (Felis silvestris catus)
