  1. In the table, the coefficient of variation for 10 properties of advertisement calls of Uperodon globulosus 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)
