Clicking in bovids - basic parameters, origin and function?
ROCHOVÁ, Markéta
Some species of hoofed animals produce clicking sound. This work analysed clicking parameters (dominant frequency, 25% quartile, 50% quartile, 75% quartile) of this species: Kuban Tur (Capra caucasica), Daghestan Tur (Capra cylindricornis) and Aoudad (Ammotragus lervia), which are clicking significantly. Clicks of each individual were recorded using solid state recorder Marantz PMD 620 with microphone. All clicks were analysed using program Avisoft-SAS Lab Pro Software, verze 5.0.01 (2010). Data were analysed using program STATISTICA, version 9 (ANONYMUS 2009). Individuals were compared using one-way ANOVA and discriminant analysis. Species and sexes were compared using discriminant analysis and nested ANOVA. Clicking parameters were correlated with age. A phylogenetic distribution of clicking was determined in Bovidae. Results suggest differences between individuals and species. Differences between sexes wasn't significant. Correlation with age was significant.
