DATASET Sound production mechanism in triggerfish (Balistidae): a synapomorphy

Dataset corresponding to the article "Sound production mechanism in triggerfish (Balistidae): a synapomorphy". This dataset contains the sounds of three species of Balistidae : <em>Balistapus undulatus</em>, <em>Rhinecanthus aculeatus</em> and <em>Rhinecanthus rectangulus</em>. All the specimens are from Moorea Island (French Polynesia)<br> <em>B. undulatus</em> [standard length (SL) 10.59–15.35 cm]<br> <em>R. aculeatus</em> (SL: 12.7–17.4 cm) <br> <em>R. rectangulus</em> (SL: 8.1–15.3 cm) Specimens were recorded hand-held in a glass aquarium with a hydrophone HTI-96-MIN (sensitivity: −163.9dB V μPa−1; High Tech Inc., Long Beach, MS, USA) connected to a TASCAM DR-07 recorder (TEAC, Wiesbaden, Germany).<br> The sounds were digitized at 44.1 kHz (16-bit resolution).
