Table 1 PGLS Models with the best combination of variables (i.e., lowest AIC) for the scaling of peak frequency (PF), bandwidth (BW), and call duration (CD) attending differences between nasal and oral emitters (Echo type) for 314 analyzed species. For estimating Chisq and Pr analyses of deviance type III were made, C.I. represents confidence intervals for slopes using a confidence level of 0.95%
