  1. The table shows the values of coefficient of variation for 10 properties of advertisement calls of Uperodon systoma measured within individuals (CVw) and among individuals (CVa), the ratio of among–individual to within–individual variation (CVa/CVw), and results from model II ANOVAs (all Ps <  0.001 or 0.05). “FM” = frequency modulation; “CVw” = Coefficient of variation within individuals; “CVa” = Coefficient of variation among individuals; “d” = dynamic call; “s” = static call; “I” = intermediate call
