Acoustic parameters calculated for bats captured in the Republic of Congo

The acoustic parameters of the acoustic calls were estimated automatically on each reference acoustic file using Kaleidoscope 5.6.2 (Wildlife Acoustics, Maynard, MA, USA): - Fpmean: mean frequency of the spectrum within the selection (multiple acoustic call); - Fppeak: frequency which has the highest (Peak) energy within the selection; - Fmax: average maximum frequency of call pulses; - Fc: frequency of the point at the end of the body of the call pulse which is defined as the flattest part (lowest absolute slope) of the call; - Fk: average knee frequency of calls; - Dur (ms): average duration of call pulses within the selection; - Fmin: average minimum frequency of call pulses; - Fmean: average frequency of echolocation pulses. If an individual had several acoustic reference files, the acoustic parameters were estimated on the average values.
