Data used for logistic regression analyses (female response relative to acoustic traits) shown in Table B2, in the main text and figure 3.

This excel file includes data used for logistic regression analyses of the relationship between acoustic traits, starting distance to speaker, number of females per group, and the female’s response. Rows 1-63 (Row number as per Column A) show responses of mule deer females to distress vocalizations made by species other than mule deer. Rows 96-100 present data for mule deer responses to natural mule deer distress calls. Rows 64-95 and to mule deer calls for which the F0 was manipulated. Data in rows are from Teichroeb, L. J., T. Riede, R. Kotrba, and S. Lingle. 2013. Fundamental frequency is key to response of female deer to juvenile distress calls. Behavioural Processes 92:15– 23. Mean F0, female starting distance and female response, but no other predictor variables, were included for data from Teichroeb et al. (2013).

Column A: Row number to identify each trial.
Column B: Taxonomic order of the animal producing the sound used in the trial.
Column C: Species of the animal producing the sound used in the trial.
Column D: Call type. UM = unmanipulated calls; F0S = calls for which the F0 was shifted by multiplying the mean F0 by a certain factor; RS = calls for which the F0 was shifted by overriding the sampling frequency.
Column E: Caller ID. Identity of individual producing the call.
Colume F: No. Females. Number of females in the subject’s group at the start of the trial.
Column G: Starting distance, code. Distance between female and speaker at the start of the trial, identified as a code. 2 = 50 -75 m; 3 = 75-100 m; 4 = 100-125 m; 5 = 125-150 m; 6 = 150-200 m; 7 = 200-250; 8 = >250 m.
Column H: Mean F0 (kHz)
Column I: Maximum F0 (kHz)
Column J: Range F0/Mean F0
Column K: Call duration (s)
Column L: Max dominant harmonic (Hz)
Column M: Lowest of the three dominant harmonics (Hz), ranked by frequency
Column N: Middle of the three dominant harmonics (Hz), ranked by frequency
Column O: Highest of the three dominant harmonics (Hz), ranked by frequency
Column P: Maximum dominant harmonic (kHz)
Column Q: A principal component formed by the three dominant harmonics (columns M, N, O).
Column R: Noise scored as a binary variable, showing presence or absence.
Column S: Female response scored as a binary variable. Responses of 5 through 9 were considered moderate to strong responses and scored as “1”. Alert behaviour and approaches <25 m were scored as 0. See corresponding publication for details.
