a Oscillogram (top) and spectrogram (bottom) of a typical advertisement call, which contains five A notes. b Oscillogram (top) and spectrogram (bottom) of a typical aggressive call, which contains five B notes. c Tested males were placed in cylindrical wire mesh enclosures (21 cm in diameter × 26 cm in height). An individual was placed in a wire cage (2 × 3 × 3 cm3 for males, and 2 × 4 × 5 cm3 for females) as an odor stimulus. Odor stimuli were positioned approximately 5 cm away from the enclosure, and a thin layer of black cloth (6 × 8 cm2) was placed between enclosure and cage to block visual cues. Acoustic stimuli were broadcast from 10 cm to the enclosure. d Tested males were assigned to a specific odor group. After the 3-min spontaneous period, odor stimuli, advertisement calls and the odor plus acoustic stimuli were presented in a randomized order with 3-min interstimulus intervals. Each stimulus period lasted for 3 mins
