Weekly Update on My Wood Frog Vocalization Experiment :)

[frogluver]

Here are some oscilliograms (the graph traced by an oscillograph, which measures frequency levels) and spectrograms (a time-varying spectral representation that shows how the spectral density of a signal varies with time) of the calls from Frog 5 that I was able to record. The graphs show frequency levels and amplitude in addition to time. These graphs will allow me to analyze the calls in depth and compare them to calls made within the wild, during the mating season. I used a free online program to graph these vocalizations—SoundRuler. The graph on the left are advertisement calls and the graph on the right are release calls.

I’ll write up a more detailed report when more time allows, but here is this for now. I would have included the vocalizations themselves, but currently I’m am unaware of how I would share them, being that they are sound files hehe.
