2 Figure 1 Behavioral responses of Nile crocodile embryos and adult females to sound playback. (A) Embryos show higher behavioral activity — in terms of emitted vocalizations and movements — during playback of pre-hatching calls than during playback of noise or silence period. ∗ (P < 0.05); ∗∗ (P < 0.01). (B) Crocodile mothers react strongly to playback of pre-hatching calls, most of them by digging the sand. ∗ (P < 0.05); ∗∗ (P < 0.01) (ns: not significant) See also Supplemental Movie.
